Synopsis:
"15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but struggles to interpret others and everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his street. He detests being touched and meeting strangers. Now, 7 minutes after midnight, Christopher finds his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion for the killing, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. His detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey of self-discovery."

We hope to see you there!
