Daniel Radcliffe attend the premiere of “December Boys” held at the Director’s Guild of America in Los Angeles.

The “December Boys” are a close knit group of four adolescent orphans who were all born in December. The boys’ hope of ever being adopted grows slimmer with each passing year, and it is not until their first summer away from the orphanage that the fading hope of finding parents becomes a real possibility – but only for one of them.  Daniel Radcliffe plays Maps, the oldest of the four orphans.

The boys make friends with a young couple who are unable to become pregnant and decide to adopt a child. The four compete to be the most adoptable, severely testing their friendships when long gestating feelings of rejection erupt to the surface.
