Synopsis:
Rille and Erik are brothers who live with their mother in north Sweden. Their father works on an oilrig and they see him once a year when he comes home for vacation. Their mother has a boyfriend, Gunnar, whom both boys dislike. Even though they are brothers, the boys are completely different: the younger Erik is a sportsman, adored by his friends and girls, while the older Rille is an outsider. He is a chubby teenager who only knows how to play table tennis.
