Kauwboy is about a ten year old who finds a bird that fell out of it's nest. He places it back. but the bird falls out again. The boy, Jojo decides he will take care of the bird, which he has to do secretly, because his father has anger issues, stemming from grief, which he sometimes takes out on Jojo. Being able to shower the bird with love, is a welcome distraction for the boy, who deals with frustration and denial.
The acting is pretty good, especially since Rick Lens (Jojo) is so young. He portrays emotions well. Loek Peters (the father) is doing a good job balancing between anger and love.
This movie is not suited for young children and not "uplifting". In fact, it had me in tears for the most part. Despite this, Kauwboy is certainly worth watching.
Spoiler alert regarding the bird: The bird dies. Not by the father.
