My Name is Leon

　　Leon只想要親愛的家人回來，八歲的他該怎麼做，才能要回他完整的家？

　　Leon喜歡巧克力棒，喜歡看星期六早上的卡通，也喜歡他可愛的金髮小弟弟。當弟弟傑克出生時，Leon戳著躺在嬰兒床上傑克的頭說：「我是你的哥哥，我叫Leon，今年八歲九個月，我是男生。」Leno決定盡己所能保護傑克，讓傑克感到開心。

　　不過Leon無法滴水不漏地保護他可愛的家。他們的母親因藥物濫用而有精神疾病，這對Leon來說帶來一個令人心碎事實：白人嬰兒傑克很快就被領養了，卻沒人想領養半混血的Leon。

　　孤獨的Leon只想要他的家人回來，他也想問大人們，為什麼只有他被留下來？為什麼他的弟弟不見了？透過尋找這些問題的旅程，Leon發現他遇到一些給予他希望與友誼的人們……。
