Boy is a humble goat herder who is ridiculed for the hump on his back. Boy is called a monster wherever he goes, and he believes them. He doesn't touch his hump or even look at it, keeping it covered by his cloak day and night.
When a pilgrim arrives and asks him to join him on a quest to steal the relics of St. Peter, Boy doesn't want to go. That quickly changes and their journey becomes a quest for salvation, for both of them.
Boy is a lovable character who goes through a miraculous transition. And we are cheering for him all along the way, along with the herds of animals who stop to help him. Who wouldn't want to wake up in a pile of sheep?
