Timothy and the World of Tomorrow (2010)

A religion sets rules and constraints. On the contrary, imagination and curiosity help break limitations and reveal new possibilities. When the two collide, a conflict is inevitable.

The movie tells a story of a 9 yo boy, Timothy, who dreams about outer space and loves to watch TV news about the Apollo program and the first men on the Moon. His mother, however, is overly religious, and as such mostly disapproves his interest. And the father of the family is too timid to support his son's passion.

When new Indian neighbors settle down across the street, their foreignness, and therefore different religion cannot be left unnoticed by Timmy's mother, and the boy is prohibited from communicating with the new family and their kid of the same age. Staying at home in a room with hammered windows all day long is the least thing a child may want or actually need.

Will Timothy be able to escape from his conservative parents, and how the situation will resolve? Watch the movie to find out!
