I Want To Be A Soldier is the story of Alex (Fergus Riordan), an average 8 year child who develops a morbid fascination for images portraying violence. He starts to have communication problems with his parents and other children at school and becomes withdrawn, inventing two imaginary friends, astronaut Captain Harry (Ben Temple) and his alter ego, sergeant John Cluster (Ben Temple). When his mother (Jo Kelly) gives birth to twins, Alex is unable to deal with the situation, feeling lonely now that his parents lavish all their attention on the babies. Hurt and betrayed, he uses emotional blackmail to persuade his father (Andrew Tarbet) to grant him his dearest wish: a TV set for his bedroom. Through television, Alex discovers an exciting new world. He is so fascinated by images of war and violence than he becomes obsessed. (Canónigo Films)
