The Thrilling Adventure of Amos Waters

About

The Thrilling Adventure of Amos Waters is the story of a ten-year-old boy, Amos, filled with a childlike curiosity about the world and a craving to understand all aspects of life. The film follows Amos' journey to understand his single, alcoholic father. He travels to a liquor store armed with his father's ID to buy alcohol, but no matter his determination to present himself as his father, everything keeps going wrong. Eventually, on his way home, he passes by a Sunday mass service and attends service to get drunk on the Communion wine. After tasting alcohol, meeting unlikely friends, and going on the journey of a lifetime, Amos has to decide whether or not he can find contempt in the incomprehension of his father's illness.
