Claim: In the film The Kid with a Bike, the character Cyril enjoyed playing with other children, running errands, and cycling, and had a great relationship with his father.
Evidence: Still, his father's abandonment haunts him, even after discovering his father sold his bike. Cyril asks why he has to stay at the home but his father gives no indication of wanting him back. Samantha demands Cyril's father be honest with him and his father says he must stay at the home or with Samantha, because he doesn't care. Cyril tries giving it to his father but his father does not want involvement.
