A Dish Towel Pictures Film
A dad who might be a superhero — or might just be trying his best.
Animated Feature · ~90 min · Family / Adventure · Kids 6–12 + Parents
Synopsis
Eight-year-old Max is certain his dad is the greatest superhero alive. When Max narrates, the ordinary world transforms — the leaky sink becomes a fifty-foot villain, the family car becomes a rocket, a dish towel becomes a cape. The film commits to that belief completely, without winking.
Then Rob starts chasing a promotion, and starts missing the moments that made Max believe. So Max stops — and the magic goes with him. No narration. No powers. Just a tired dad in a kitchen. To win his family back, Rob has to find a courage that was never borrowed from his son’s imagination — while his wife Claire reveals a hidden life of her own.
