Club Kid Plot: What the Film Is About
New York’s nightlife is the whole world for the man at the center of Club Kid. He makes his living as a club promoter, and his days revolve around parties, late nights and the people who keep the scene running. Then a 10-year-old boy turns up, and the promoter learns this child is his son, someone he never knew existed.
The story follows a millennial who never quite grew up and is suddenly asked to take on responsibility. It is set in the 2010s, and the film’s keywords point to New York City, including Brooklyn, as well as London. The movie’s themes include fatherhood, a father-son relationship that starts from zero, and a late coming of age for a man used to living only for himself. The story looks at what happens when a reckless lifestyle runs into the needs of a child.
The film blends comedy and drama, so expect humor from the clash between club culture and parenting, along with more serious moments. Further plot details beyond this premise are best discovered on screen.
