The Optimist - Eine Familie mit besonderer Note (2006)
Der ukrainische Klarinettist Max Sarafanov lebt mit seiner Familie in Los Angeles. Zunächst am Boden zerstört, als er seinen Job im hiesigen Orchester verliert, versucht der dennoch, optimistisch in die Zukunft zu blicken. Doch die Welt der Familie gerät völlig aus den Fugen, als zwei Autodiebe auf der Flucht vor der Polizei in deren Leben treten und Vater Max glauben machen, dass Bo der verlorene Sohn der Familie sei. Bo und Skip haben ein leichtes Spiel bis sich Bo in seine "Schwester" verliebt und das Ganze eine unvorhersehbare Wendung nimmt.
