When I was a kid in the early to mid 80's I watched this cool movie that I can only remember one part of. I remember the movie was very dark, there was one character who was a boy around the age of 9 that the movie was based on.
In the movie the boy ends up in some sort of asylum for kids, he is in his own cell and he hides a piece of tinfoil under his pillow which he takes out every once in a while. He unwraps the foil and eats a chunk of whatever it is then hides back under his pillow.
This is all I can remember about this movie and I hope you can help because it has been driving me mad for years!!
Thank you!
