Since his wife left him, Francis is at the end of his tether. He works as a waiter in a night-club, and drowns his sorrow in drink. His ten-year-old son manages on his own, but reproaches his father with letting himself go. For the love of his son, Francis decides to take up his pre- vious trade again, that of magician...
My magic is about love, family ties, redemption... and magic.
“It must be my most intimate film. I’m a father, I have four boys, and for a long time I’ve been wanting to take an interest in father-son rela-tionships, the obstacles that can hinder their relations and the way that the bond can be preserved in spite of all the pitfalls. I knew Francis Bosco who has been a professional magician for more than ten years. He is larger than life. I’ve always dreamed about making a film with him and for him.” Eric Khoo
