Nowhere Special (2020) is set in Northern Ireland while being written and produced by Italian director Uberto Pasolini.

Inspired by a true story, the film follows single father John (James Norton) as he interviews several prospective adoptive families for his 4-year-old son Michael (Daniel Lamont).

John has been given notice that he has terminal cancer and so finding a family for Michael has become urgent.

At one point in the film, John is asked about his own growing up. He said his father raised him until he was 4 and then he was in foster homes.
