狂爱迈克尔·杰克逊成痴的男孩,沉浸在自己的想像世界当中,弟弟更是不遑多让,自认拥有致命法力,离家多年的老爸是男孩心中的英雄,当爸爸突然回来时,兴奋的男孩却发现心目中的英雄,似乎和现实有点差距。It's 1984. Here we meet Boy, an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his gran, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky (who thinks he has magic powers). Shortly after Gran leaves for a week, Boy's father, Alamein, appears out of the blue. Having imagined a heroic version of his father during his absence, Boy comes face to face with the real version-an incompetent hoodlum who has returned to find a bag of money he buried years before. This is where the goat enters.
