Brief synopsis

Love and loss are closely linked in My Son: a fast-paced, funny and emotionally gripping tragicomedy about a teenager and his mother who embark on a journey together after almost losing one another for good. A journey into the future and into the past, a road trip that becomes an end in itself - for both of them.
