A warm and humorous drama full of depth and originality set in the far north of Sweden. 16- year old Rille is ostracised and bullied – a nobody. Everywhere, except in the ping pong room. There he rules, there he is THE KING OF PING PONG. His 13-year old brother Erik is charming, respected and loved by all – and he is the only one to defend him against the hostile actions of his environment. Despite the profound differences between them, the two brothers that both live with her mother share the same blood; at least that is what they believe. When they learn the truth about their fathers during their spring break, they become bitter adversaries engaged in a life and death struggle. Rille is desperately seeking for a solution to his problem and decides to flee by car. But finally he’s got to face the most important question: Is he willing to take responsibility for his life or not?
