48 Angels on AllMovie

Taking inspiration from Saint Columcille, a nine year-old boy recently diagnosed with a terminal illness sets out to locate God before the all-powerful deity finds him first. With nothing more than a ramshackle boat with neither sail nor oars to propel him, young Seamus soon comes into contact with compassionate strangers James and Darry. At first it seems as if Seamus and his fellow travelers share little in common, though as the quest continues it gradually becomes apparent that they are just as much in need of healing as the ailing young adventurer himself.
