In Jakimowski’s thoroughly delightful and decidedly original film, a young boy does his best to give fate a helping hand (using his little tricks) and reintroduce a man that he believes to be his estranged father into his and his family’s life, much to the chagrin of his unforgiving big sister, who is preoccupied with trying to gain a position at an Italian company.
