New Zealand, 1984. Boy, a devout 11-year-old Michael Jackson fan, lives on a farm with his gran and brother, and dreams of his heroic absent father. One day his father reappears, eager to find a bag of money he buried before his arrest. Will his father live up to Boy’s lofty expectations?
Before Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit, Oscar® winner Taika Waititi directed this big-hearted coming-of-age story. Set in his native New Zealand, the film became the country’s highest-grossing local production while gathering attention abroad for its charm and tender depiction of adolescence.
