Homer je sirotek, který celý svůj život strávil za zdmi sirotčince, kde se stal žákem doktora Larche – muže, který Homera naučil nejen jak být skvělým lékařem i bez diplomu, ale i jak být dobrým člověkem, který ví, co je správné. Homer však pochopí, že život není jen v ordinaci, a tak se vydá na jablečnou farmu, kde prožívá i velkou lásku… Film o smutku, radosti, lásce i životních zkušenostech se dočkal sedmi oscarových nominací, proměnil však jen dvě – za mužský herecký výkon ve vedlejší roli (Michael Caine) a nejlepší adaptovaný scénář (který napsal John Irving).
