A boy looks to fulfil the emptiness of never having had a father around.

It aims to touch on an all too familiar position that many of today’s children find themselves in regardless of their inherited class. The filmmaker tells a story of a boy’s self discovery journey, that is unconsciously led by both his imagination and a need for extra parental attention. To further enforce this theme of ‘self discovery.’ The boy’s mother who initially reads the boy’s actions as a resistance against the rights of society. Discovers that as much as her position appears weak, it is equally powerful, as by understanding and giving a little more time; she can counterbalance the father’s absence.
