Synopsis

Due to the tragic death of his wife, journalist Joe Warr brings up his son Artie by himself, and decides that he is going to try to be a friend rather than an authority figure to the boy. He'll let Artie make his own mistakes, and the two of them will have fun together. Not everyone is sure this a good idea - Artie's half-brother Harry is shocked when he arrives to stay - but the film is a warm and touching look at an unconventional approach to parenting.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
