The Boy Below

Morten Giese, Denmark, 2002

30 min.DK/Short fictionChildren's films

Anders is 10 years-old and has one great passion and that is diving. He is going on holiday to Greece with his dad, whose behaviour is erratic due to his heavy drinking. They are secretive about their holiday, because the social welfare would stop them going if they knew. Only Grandmother knows. In Greece Anders takes up his diving, but Dad isn't able to keep sober ... and consequently Anders has nobody to turn to.
