And a son's one. Yes, this is the story of young Sam Fabelman the young son of a Jewish couple who has a dream since when he was a child of becoming a film maker. However this brings him a few troubles and obstacles regarding his troubled relationship with his family, particularly with his odd mother and even his tried and unsuccessful love desire with a girl he fell in love with. She is very complicated and ends up by refusing his love. He also had to give up his intention of going to study in the university chosing the filming career instead. He also had to resent his father's changes of work and state residence and had to endure anti-semitic attacks and injuries by other young men. This movie is well performed by alll actors and actresses but the story is rather simple and not particularly dramatic.
