Sebbe is fifteen and lives with his mother in a much too small apartment; he loves her although she has hardly time for him and is not only often away but also drinking. In addition, Sebbe continuously suffers severe mischievous at school by his classmates. All this is shown by the film in a highly innovative and impressive way – mostly exposing in detail the perspective of Sebbe and his emotions, his search for love and his attempt to escape and to find new hope.
