Boy - Synopsis

Boy is the new film from filmmaker Taika Waititi, who directed Eagle vs Shark in 2007.

Inspired by Waititi's short film Two Cars, One Night, which was nominated for an Oscar, Boy is the hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age tale about heroes, magic and Michael Jackson. Written and directed by Waititi, the film was shot in his childhood home town of Waihau Bay on the East Coast of New Zealand.

Boy is the debut feature for James Rolleston as 11-year-old Boy and Te Aho Eketone-Whitu as his younger brother Rocky. Waititi plays their father Alamein, who is the subject of Boy's fantasies and whom he imagines as a deep sea diver, war hero, rugby legend and close relative of Michael Jackson. In reality Alamein is an inept, wannabe gangster who has been in jail for robbery.
