See a Trailer of this movie: EndOfGoldenWeather

A 12 year old boy who dreams of becoming a writer discovers that he must help someone else's dream come true before he can reach his own.

This New Zealand coming-of-age drama follows Geoff in his relationships with his younger siblings and his mentally fuzzy friend Firpo. An imaginative boy, he is given to putting on amateur theatricals using his reluctant siblings as players. This drama is based on a autobiographical one-man show put on in the 1950s and '60s by Bruce Masson, a revered local actor and playwright, now deceased. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Geoff Crome is twelve and a bit. He believes in Miracles. He sees them every day on the beach where he lives in this last perfect summer of his childhood. Despite his father's warning, Geoff becomes friends with Firpo - a strange, skinny, magical character with a burning ambition to win the Olympic Games. When Firpo accepts an impossible challenge to run a race on the beach, Geoff tries everything to help him win - body building, weights, diet, even prayer. But Firpo scorns them all, convinced he will win with a miracle all his own. Geoff so much wants to believe in Firpo's miracle that he sets himself against his whole world - his family, his community and finally against the innocent dreams of his childhood.
