SYNOPSIS

Inspired by a true story, The Boys Are Back is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood.

It follows a witty, wise cracking, action orientated sports writer (Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: 'Just say yes.'

Raising two boys – a curious six year old (Nicholas Mcanulty) and a rebel teen (George Mackay) from a previous marriage – in a house devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless… and on the constant verge of disaster.

United by unspoken love, conflicted by fierce feelings and in search of a road forward, the three multi generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, much each find their own way, however tenuous, to grow up.
