A shorts program about parenting, reparenting, and being parented, and the transitions that take place when we leave (behind) our parents' ideals and make sense of the world on our own terms.

It’s the 2012 London Olympics, and the whole world is going crazy for the most famous athlete in the world: Usain Bolt. Everyone apart from Alvin, an awkward 14-year-old who hates running and constantly disappoints his Jamaican father, Lester, a former sprinter who can’t understand why his son is “so soft.” So, when Alvin is unexpectedly nominated to represent his class in the upcoming school sports day, it could be his last chance to make his dad proud and prove that he can be just like Bolt.
