"My Daddy" is about how an street kid adopts a star soccer player and in so doing changes both of their lives as well as the lives of others.

An interesting film with a very simply told story, thus rags to riches given that the riches are life giving medical treatments. For the soccer player cum parent riches are human involvement. Overcoming scary illnesses and death confronting children included.
