When David Wilson's young wife falls victim to cancer, he is left a single working dad with the sole responsibility of caring for his sixth grade son with autism.

As father and son struggle to deal with life after mom, they each begin to withdraw into their own worlds.

Critics' reviews

"The intentions behind 'A Boy Called Po' are not only good, but honorable (...) The script tries to do way too much, but the film also moved me quite deeply a couple of times (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
