Children show the way in this epic tale of a quest for freedom. And to be free means to learn how to live sanely in the modern world. With intuition, reflection and perception, the children overcome obstacles that threaten their lives, safety, and freedom. In the end, they must decide what their relationship to others and to society will be.Dia, a young girl who lives on an island with her mother, discovers a boy who says his name is La-ha-ta, living in the wild. A kindly neighbor, Leila Payson (Miss Pacer), befriends them. The Old Man of the Island also advises the children, especially Eric, who has his own path. La-ha-ta is sent to a group home, and later, as a runaway, to a detention center. What does Dia do? How does Leila and her neighbor, Wry Ayers, help? And the Old Man, who walks the dunes and talks to himself, how does his story relate to theirs?This is the challenge of the 21st Century: to live in society with a personal recognition of reality in the right balance with a shared consciousness as a member of a community that allows for diversity and even conflict without physical violence, brainwashing or bullying, exploitation or hysteria.
