Plot

А single dad looks to give up drinking and his bartender job in order to impress his son and find work as a magician. Francis (Bosco Francis) is a man at the end of his tether. He has a 10-year-old son he loves desperately, but sorrow, guilt and constant inebriation have made him an ineffectual father. The son (Jathisweran) is a stoic ‘old soul’ who has learned to bury is affection for his old man and to cope with his chaotic life. A broken spirit and a single parent, Francis hopes to redeem himself and win his son’s love and respect. He makes a painful – and bizarre – return to magic. An unexpected incident one night sets father and son on the road. In dilapidated building, these two wounded souls come to terms with their love – a love which is as deep and acute as their grief. From AMG: Inspired by the true life story of Singaporean fire-eater Francis Bosco, director Eric Khoo's Tamil-language drama My Magic tells the tale of an alcoholic bartender who decides to pull his life together for the sake of his adolescent son. Though his wife has left him and his life is in shambles, the devoted father vows to set things right by reclaiming his former glory as a popular magician. Shot over the course of just eight days in December of 2007, Khoo's film stars Bosco as himself and features Jathisweran and Grace Kalaiselvi in supporting roles.

Что я понял - для того, чтобы сделать шикарный фильм, подобный этому, не обязательно какое-то запредельное финансирование. Достаточно быть таким талантливым режиссером, как Эрик Ху и найти такую умничку, как Жатхишверан Найду! Фильм на столько впечатляет, что переживаешь абсолютно все. Ну, может, кроме физической боли персонажей. Но, может быть, особо впечатлительные переживут при просмотре и это?... Знания английского языка в пределах средней школы вполне достаточно для понимания фильма полностью.
