- Synopsis
- A Child Possessed by R.C. Hutchinson Stepan Lopuchine, a Russian aristocrat by birth and a lorry driver by trade, has long believed his only child, who was born physically and mentally disabled, to be dead. When he discovers that 15-year-old Eugenie is still alive in a Swiss hospital he is determined to take her home with him to be her primary caregiver despite the advice of her doctors.Eugenie's physical and mental deformities may prevent her from any but the most basic responses at the beginning, but to him she is a gift from God, and from Helene, his beautiful actress wife from whom he has long been separated. As Eugenie goes with him on his lorry trips, as she gets to know his friends and most importantly Stepan, she begins to show responses and emotion to her surroundings.And as Helene, on her infrequent visits to Stepan and Eugenie, see them together, she too begins to understand that Eugenie is a person, not a problem, not an imbecile and that she is worthy of love.
