House of D (2004)

Plot: Tom Warshaw is an American artist who has been living in Paris for thirty years. He quietly leads a troubled existence, something that his French wife Coralie Warshaw can see without knowing the source of that trouble and which is negatively affecting their son, Odell Warshaw. On Odell's thirteenth birthday, Tom decides to come clean to his family about his past, the source of that trouble, Tom's decision to come clean at this time due to his story being when he himself was thirteen. At the time in 1973, he, just plain old Tommy, was living with his widowed working class unconventional mother, Katherine Warshaw, in Greenwich Village, she who was not coping well following the death of Tommy's father. She rested all her hopes on Tommy, who, on scholarship, was attending a private Catholic boys' school, where arguably his best friend was the school's mentally challenged janitor, Pappass. Pappass helped Tommy in his part-time job as a delivery boy for a local meat shop, they saving their money in a hidden box to be able to buy a bike. The hiding location led to Tommy meeting, faceless through the barred windows, a female convict in detention, she who would only call herself Lady. Lady became Tommy's confidante in all matters, but especially as it pertained to Tommy's crush on a wealthy girl named Melissa Loggia, who attended his school's sister institution. It is within this world that something happened that tore Tommy's life apart.
