Storyline:
The ten-year-old Anders, who is obsessed with diving, lives in an apartment with his alcoholic father, who himself has a past as a scuba diver. Although they are under the strict supervision of the social authorities due to their father’s abuse, Anders is 100% loyal. For it is envisaged that if the father stays away from the bottle, they can travel to the south together and have a diving holiday. Anders buys in, cooks and keeps the façade facing the outsiders, but when they reach down to the heat and the cheap booze, the situation becomes unmanageable for Anders.
