Loverboy (2005)

In Loverboy (2005), six-year-old Paul embarks on a whimsical journey through the chapters of his life, narrated by his mother, Emily. Emily, a woman who sought the joys of motherhood without the binding ties of a husband, becomes a storyteller, weaving tales of their shared life and moments of manic joy. As the mother and son embark on an imaginary car ride, a tool for Paul's driving practice, Emily flashes back to his infancy and their unique bond, a bond she has christened with the tender name, Loverboy. However, as Paul yearns for school and the companionship of his peers, the plot delves deeper into Emily's own past - a lonely child, neglected by parents too engrossed in each other. The question that emerges is whether Emily can step back and let Paul experience a world beyond her. Or will she, much like the David Bowie song she performs at a school talent show, seek to create a life on Mars, a world that revolves solely around her and Paul? This poignant tale of motherhood, love and the inevitable need for letting go is a captivating exploration of the complexities of parenting and growing up.
