John Paul MacLeod plays a Welsh village boy who
wants God to solve the problems of his parents,
headed for divorce, in "The Testimony of
Tallesin Jones."

A tender tale of
faith for the family

"The Testimony of Tallesin Jones"
Screens at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow

A gently told story about a 12-year-old Welsh village boy who wants to believe in a generous and loving God, if only to heal the problems between his soon-to-be divorced parents.

This is a touching and absorbing film for the entire family that doesn't insult one's intelligence.

John Paul MacLeod portrays the lead character with sensitivity, surrounded by well-known U.K. actors Jonathan Pryce and Geraldine James as his dad and mom and the late Ian Bannen ("Waking Ned Devine") in an appropriate career-ending role as a kindly piano teacher whose faith healing powers give the boy some hope.
