The Man Who Forgot Christmas Peter Matthews

It was the Eve of Christmas 1990, when Anthony Miller lost his father in a road traffic accident. Not being able to cope with the grief, his mother places him in care, by the advice of her daughter and that of the local authorities; where over time she forgets about him. Those nine years in care would prove costly, as it would take away Anthony's Christmas spirit, as well as the trust in adults. Now an adult himself, Anthony became involved intimately with a co-worker; but it soon diminished as their relationship became toxic. Trying to make amends, because of the love he has for this woman, he goes to surprise her in the bar she frequents, when Anthony finds her in the arms of another man. With a scared childhood, and relationship; Anthony parts ways and then throws himself into his work, which pays off as he becomes the owner. He accepts a role in the local orphanage, where he soon comes across a young boy named Tyler. Could this young boy finally break his defences; and show him the meaning of Christmas?
