What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Seven-year-old Tim has a very happy life with his parents, full of stories and songs allowing him to indulge his imagination. He has no interest in a sibling joining the party, but that doesn’t stop the adult-talking, suit-wearing Boss Baby turning up and turning Tim’s life upside down. Tim’s sleep-deprived parents don’t seem to notice anything different, but he soon realises that Boss Baby has arrived for a very specific reason, sending the pair on an exciting, daring mission.
