One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
A drug addicted teenage boy shows up unexpectedly at his family's home on Christmas Eve.
"Selected at the Toronto Film Festival and directed by Peter Hedges (Oscar-nominated writer for 'A Big Boy'), 'The Return of Ben' is a modest yet elegant family drama that goes beyond conventions and delicately explores the intimate tragedies and pain that addiction can bring. Lucas Hedges (who is the director's son and was Academy Award nominated for 'Manchester By The Sea') and Julia Roberts dictate the rhythm of the feature film with their intense mother and son chemistry."
