The only thought that helps the siblings is that they are there temporarily – there are children who live there all year long and have no other place to go. In time Eydis and Kari find new friends and adjust somewhat, but every so often one of them irritates the teachers and gets punished. Their lively imagination and playful minds help them get through many difficult moments and, after all, they will go back home soon! But their mother hasn’t come and summer is almost over...

At home, she makes life difficult for her older sister, Karen, who is responsible for taking care of her and her brother. At school, psychologist Mrs. Mollé takes an interest in Barbara's increasingly worrisome behaviour. As she deals with loss and bullying, Barbara's imagined life begins spilling into her real one and she becomes obsessed with what she sees as her quest: killing giants. It's only when she's forced to face the truth and overcome her fears that Barbara is able to confront her demons. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura.
