My Son the Junkie

This is the true story of Honza, who started drinking very early. Then he tried something lighter a few times. He figured, everybody's lying, he'll never have the problem. But the drugs start to wrap around him more and more. He moves on to harder and harder, until one day he reaches for meth. We follow the story as it mercilessly plunges into the depths, alternately through the eyes of Honza and through the eyes of his parents. Their perspectives diverge more and more as Honza's lies and emerging paranoia escalate. A raw and uncompromising story of a teenager who wanted to taste everything the wide range of contemporary drugs has to offer. And the story of his parents, who are desperate to save their son, even though they are gradually losing all hope.
