My experience with this movie was magnificent and the overall movie just touched my nerve. With love, comedy and family moments this film is suitable for all age ranges. The whole club was transfixed and we really connected with the character. I remember many of hoping that the boy would win and predicting what events could provoke circumstances.

The story is about an unfortunate but positive boy who is trying to enjoy a life after the death of his mother. However, his dad opposes! The horrible event has caused him pure depression and all the memories with her have almost equivalently stripped him of life. Anyway the main point of the movie - a young eleven year old becoming a record breaking superstar?! Well, he doesn't think so. It all starts when a paper plane enthusiasts visits the school hoping for future successful young believers. His challenge is - make a plane that can glide 25m. That means through the window, over the school gate and through a small woodland. Guess who makes it? I won't even tell, it's so obvious. This outstanding throw leads this young lad to participating in a qualifying competition and then progressing to the major one. Find out more in Paper Planes!
