In Dadolescence, Bill and Julie live in middle-class wedded bliss with their 12-year-old son. Julie brings home the bacon while Bill keeps house and frets over his never-ending PhD thesis. All is well until Julie’s ex-fiancé, the dashing and successful Blake Morgan, returns to Winnipeg, with his wife and kids.   

Next to Blake’s professional success, Bill questions what it means to be a man.
