The Cider House Rules plot
"A story about how far we must travel to find the place where we belong."
Homer has lived all his life in Dr. Larch because he was never adopted. Larch sees Homer somewhat as his own son and has trained him as his successor. When young lovers Wally and Candy visit the orphanage, Dr. Larch performs an abortion, despite the fact that it is illegal. Homer decides, much to Dr. Larch, not to continue working in the orphanage all his life, but to go out into the wide world. He leaves with Candy and Wally for Wally's family, where he starts work as an apple picker.
