What is Farther about?

A boy grows up fascinated by his father’s dream of flying. His father spends every spare moment sketching machines and building inventions, but when war takes him away, the dream seems to disappear. Years later, now a young man, the son discovers his father’s drawings and begins trying to finish what he started. At last, he succeeds in taking to the skies. But when his own son watches, will the same powerful dream begin again?
