Movie description:
In this British drama, a 14-year-old boy’s own attempts at parenthood give him a better understanding of his relationship with his often absent father (Ian Hart). Rebellious teen Robbie has little contact with his own child, but a violent incident with another teenager spurs him to take the child with him on the run.
»A Boy Called Dad« tells the story of Robbie – a 14 year old boy who has just become a father. Robbie wishes to take responsibility for his baby son, but the mother wants nothing more to do with him. A near-accident reunites Robbie with his own estranged father, Joe, and for a while their relationship flourishes. But Joe proves a feckless, unreliable man, and Robbie realizes he does not want to be the same kind of father to his own child. Seeing the baby with its mother and her abusive new boyfriend, Robbie decides to take action. Confrontation leads to violence, and Robbie snatches his baby son and goes on the run. Travelling cross country, he meets traumatised young woman Nia, who has some ugly family issues of her own to resolve. Meanwhile an increasingly guilt-ridden Joe searches for Robbie, trying to second guess where he might go next. The search leads to a final confrontation between Joe and Robbie in which each is forced to face up to the past and comes to understand what it really means to be a father.
