London is at the North pole

Since an accident in his childhood, the 15-years-old Peter is mentally disabled. He
cannot read and write, cannot go on excursion without his mother and he barely has
contact to people of the same age. Especially in a phase of life where other teenagers
think about their future or have fi rst relationships, Peter is becoming aware of the fact
that he is an outsider. By reading comics he flees into a fantasy world and dreams of
doing something great to obtain acceptance of others - just like his idol Spiderman.
But the reality is different. When Peter meets the 14-years-old Laura, in an idyllic open
air pool on a summer afternoon, he tries to catch up with her clique. Even though his
attempts are not successful, he is undergoing a development which is realistic as well as
impressive.
