Aston Martin

The 12-year-old boy, Sverre, has walked a difficult path in life without much support from the people around him. He misses his father, who passed away four years ago. And he longs for love and support from his mother, who is too preoccupied with her own grief to take good care of him. But Sverre finds his own ways of coping – he is a fighter, an imaginative and creative young boy, and he is continually developing and redefining his own self and his relationship to a dysfunctional mother.
