[edit] Blurb
Millions is the wonderfully quirky tale of two young brothers who find a bag of cash, and their subsequent schemes to manage their fortune.
What immediately establishes Millions' fresh perspective is the way the two lads react to their windfall. Seven-year-old Damian (Alex Etel) consults with saints who appear to him as vividly as the living, asking their advice on what to do with the money. He displays an encyclopedic knowledge of every saint, as evidenced by his response to seeing a group of Africans with halos.

The boy, who finds the millions (actually only hundreds of thousands of pounds) sees Christian saints, and can recognize them. In Buddhism, there are many stories of practitioners who vision masters and bodhisattvas, receiving teachings and other encouragement from them. See the story of Tapihritsa below.
