boy

In 1984, Michael Jackson reigns supreme, even in the small town of Waihau Bay, New Zealand. Here, we encounter Boy, an 11-year-old who resides on a farm with his grandmother, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky, who believes he possesses magical abilities. Not long after their grandmother departs for a week, Boy’s father, Alamein, unexpectedly shows up. Boy, who has fantasized about his father as a hero during his absence, is confronted with the reality: an inept criminal who has come back to retrieve a stash of money he hid years ago. This is where the goat comes into play.
