IMDb plot summary: Konrad is a perfect instant child "born" in a factory at age 8. Due to a mistake in the factory's computer, Konrad is delivered to Bertie Bartolotti, a woman whose life and appearance are in a constant state of disarray.
Directed by Nell Cox. Starring Max Wright, Polly Holliday, Huckleberry Fox, and Ned Beatty.
This is such a strange, strange movie. It was made for TV and it's evident in every bit of the script, the acting, and the cinematography. It feels even more strongly like some sort of PSA for children, but what in the world is the message being sent here? "Don't stress about being perfect," I guess. There's nothing overtly cringy or uncomfortable or BAD here, it's all too goshdarn sincere for that. It's too innocent and well-intentioned to hate, but it's too awkward to love. It just sits in a weird in-between place.
This movie is so obscure it is not actually on Flickchart yet. I've requested it to be added to the database and will come back and post an update when it's been included.
