Lars is LOL
Eleven-year-old Amanda is looking forward to starting school after the summer. It's mainly because of Adam, whom she's head over heels in love with, but also because she'll be a mentor to one of the cute first-graders. Things get a bit complicated when instead of that, she's tasked with caring for Lars, a new classmate with Down syndrome. Lars unintentionally draws unwanted attention from Amanda, making her feel embarrassed in front of Adam and others at school. However, as Amanda gets to know Lars better, she realizes they have much more in common than she originally thought. To her surprise, they become good friends.

When she fails the school's and her own moral standards in regard to bullying she has to find the courage to ask for forgiveness. The film beautifully depicts the many layers and facets of forgiveness.
