Ricky played by Julian Dennison is a foster kid, sent to live by the bush in New Zealand with Bella and Hec, the former more enthusiastic about Ricky, than both her husband and Ricky are themselves. He's had a troubled past - known for loitering, kicking things, breaking things, burning things etc, you name it, and winds up in some more trouble - getting lost in the bush, with his foster Uncle Hec played by Sam Neill. The fact that they also wind up being hunted by the government/child services because of a misunderstanding complicates things.

What we do in the shadows, it's a brilliant comedy-drama/adventure film, and I highly recommend it!
