Hugo and Tom have been best friends since first grade, but their friendship is put to the test when Hugo develops superpowers after a skateboarding accident. His new ability to control objects and people makes him the star of the school, and carried away by sudden popularity, he starts neglecting his old friend. The two drift apart—until fame proves fickle, and Hugo finds himself in need of Tom’s help. But Tom, no longer so eager to follow, now has a new friend, Klara. Will Hugo manage to win him back? This light-footed comedy about the ups and downs of true friendship premiered at the Tallinn Film Festival.
