Harsh realism and pure magic go hand in hand in this moving story about love, abandonment and alcohol. 7-year old Ida, a brave little girl, has to take care of her kid brother Skrubsak, feed the family and keep the child welfare officers at stake. Ida's father has left the family for another woman, and so far Mum has found consolation in the bottle.

Ida and her family are recovering from the divorce. She is looking forward to the upcoming dance contest. She is also growing up and developing romantic urges of her own. But romance almost destroyed her family and almost cost her her life and Ida wants nothing to do with it. Which is stronger, biology or will-power.

The first of Jesper W. Nielsen trilogy: Buldermanden, Lykkefanten and Ogginoggen. A Hitchcock like suspenseful tale exploring emotions of guilt in a child.

The two brothers Theis and Nico find a poster from "Gone with the Wind" and they start talking about why people kiss and the techniques behind it. Later they meet Giinjha and she invites them to her birthday party. While they are preparing to go to the party they rehearse how to kiss in the way the poster suggested because Theis has announced that he is in love with Giinjha and will kiss her even though he is not comfortable about it.— (uffe)
