When she gets tasked with becoming a “big sister” to the new student Lars, Amanda is not too happy; Lars has Down syndrome and Amanda wants to fit in and be liked. But Lars is funny and astute, and his life is filled with fantastic adventures. Soon, the two develop a warm and happy friendship. When Amanda tries to stay on the good side of the popular kids and ends up betraying Lars, she will have to find a way to make it up to him, while also staying true to herself. This award-winning Norwegian drama deals with the topics of peer pressure, tolerance, and the value of embracing our differences.
