Father documents the tumultuous relationship between a widowed father, Ma Lisheng, and his school-age son, Ma Che. Though he works as a low-level party functionary during the day, he finds his greatest challenges in the raising of a son on his own. Alternating between trying to bond with his son (even getting drunk with him), and verbally accosting him, Ma is at a loss. One day the son decides that the best way for his father to stop harassing him, will be to find him a new wife, which he finds in the form of the mother of a school friend, Qing Huaiyuan.

本部纪录片由三条线索组成，对中国摇滚十年做了一次大回顾。第一条线索由寻找小珂引出。这个曾经是“做梦”乐队吉他手的漂亮男孩吴珂，曾在1990年北京轰动一时。可惊世骇俗的他，却在1996年神秘的消失了。第二条线索是有关“魔岩三杰”的前世今生。这三位在大陆摇滚乐坛中举足轻重的乐手，创造出了一个理想年代。第三条线索则是跟拍在录音棚打工的男孩小畅。当大家跟随镜头来到他的山东老家时，一群农村青年齐声高唱Beyond的《真的爱你》。
正如导演在开篇所言：由一无所有，到冷暖自知，到黑色梦中，大陆的第一代摇滚乐手创造出如流星闪耀的理想年代，旋即遇上MP3和商业主义的大环境，超女也来了，第一代也成为被背弃的一代。但崔健、窦唯、何勇、张楚这群孤独的人一点也不可耻，经历了理想破灭，过来人道出时代的精神状貌；他们如今还是不折不扣完整的音乐家，走在上帝保佑吃饱了饭的人民之前。
