This is a comedic drama about a mental patient who claims he is an alien. During his treatment, the patient/alien, prot ("rhymes with 'goat'), demonstrates an outlook on life that ultimately proves inspirational for his fellow patients and especially for his psychiatrist. The movie was based on a novel of the same name, itself similar to the 1986 Argentinian film entitled Man Facing Southeast. It also bears striking similarities to the 1995 film Eyes Beyond Seeing in which an enigmatic mental patient played by Keith Hamilton Cobb claims to be Jesus.
