Pitbullterje

Snart er det jul, noe som 12 år gamle Jim knapt ser frem mot. Som klassens nerd blir han ofte utnyttet av sine klassekamerater, og hjemme klarer ikke moren å komme seg ut av sengen. En dag begynner en ny gutt i klassen. Terje - Pitbull Terje. Han er stor som et lite hus, og nesten like farlig som han ser ut. Han gjør Jim til sin bestekompis og Jim har knapt noe han skulle ha sagt om det...

Christmas preparations outside and at home make 12-year-old Jim realize how difficult it is to be both big and small at the same time. Everyday life is marked by bullying and loneliness. At school, he is the lowest in the class, and is forced to buy beer and cigarettes, and arrange parties in the garage. At home, things are different. There, he is a stay-at-home dad, taking care of his mother, who has entrenched herself under the covers with recordings of the moon landing on VHS and refuses to go out. Then a new boy starts in class, and Jim gets the friend he doesn't want: Terje. Pitbullterje. The film balances seriousness and joy in a nice way, and hits both children and adults with its honest portrayal of exclusion and hope. Pitbullterje is a film about what happens when someone sticks sticks at Christmas
