Trailer Synopsis Cast

Oscar winning animator, Borge Ring (Anna and Bella), uses his expertise in animation to weave the tale of a young boy from a happy family who falls victim to a drug dealer who exploits the boy's curiosity about drugs with a disastrous result. Without the use of dialogue we see the boy exists inside a transparent bubble. His peers grow up to active social lives, while he continues to fly inside his bubble, isolated, within an insular world that the boy's increasingly desperate parents are unable to penetrate.

Most "drug tales" come off as pedantic or condescending, with obvious warning signs and useless character clichés. That is not the case in this moving film from Danish director Børge Ring.The main character doesn't come from a "broken home" or the "wrong side of the tracks". He's just a kid who starts experimenting with drugs. Then the experimenting turns to habit and the habit turns to addiction. His parents do all they can to help him, they are completely involved in his life but, alas, to no avail. One of reasons this film is so effective is because it doesn't preach, blame or villainize.It's a great way to start the conversation about drugs and addiction. If you'd like to see it, I think they're offering it over at www.Filmporium.com the $5 DVD also includes the hilarious, other-wordly "Strange Invaders" and "Falling In Love Again" which features animation set to Marlene Dietrich's version of the titular song.
