A boy skips school, is assaulted by bullies then hides from them in a bookstore which he robs, then hides out in his school's attic to read.
An extraordinarily powerful movie.
There's a certain feeling with movies in the 1980's which were positioned for children but had unashamedly-adult themes running through them. The Neverending Story has, at its core, themes of literacy, imagination, will, loss, hope and determination.
