Family is important.
Unrated by the MPAA and still in search for a domestic distributor, The First of May is a sweetly told, family-oriented film about a boy nobody seems to want and his relationship with all those who ultimately welcome him into their lives. Soon the two are off on an adventure together. He is running away from his foster home before they can send him to an institution and she is escaping from the instititution in which she has already been placed. During their journey they manage to start a business, evade truant officers looking for Cory, and eventually join a circus. They also learn to support themselves, depend on each other, and love one another.
