[edit] Blurb

Powder is an albino Christ like figure played by Sean Patrick Flanery. A bolt of lightning kills his mother in the midst of her pregnancy. The lightning denotes a divine touch and visitation, similar to the divine visitation to Virgin Mary. The abandonment by his father is similar to Joseph's disappearance in the Bible. Powder is taken in by his grandparents and then lives in their cellar. He self-educates himself at an accelerated and supernatural rate by reading and memorizing hundreds of books. The film begins with the grandparents' death. Powder, who has been sheltered from the outside world, is then found by science teacher Mr. Ripley (Jeff Goldblum) and psychologist Jessie Caldwell (Mary Steenbergen). Jessie takes him to the state boys' home that she runs. Powder, being different, is taunted by classmates as a phantom from outer space. Powder remains unassuming, gentle and compassionate displaying miraculous abilities. He also attracts pure energy into himself.
