# My Old Man (And Discussion)

VHS

A dramatization of Ernest Hemingway's short story. A boy's idealization of his jockey father prevents him from perceiving or acknowledging his failures. The discussion suggests that the boy's dilemma is one that everyone may encounter at any age, under any circumstance: the conflict between our knowledge and our wishes, the world of fact and the world of illusion.
