Sebbe (2010)
Sebbe is 15 and lives with his mother in an apartment that is really very small. Sebbe does what he can. He never strikes back. He loves his mother because otherwise he couldn't carry on. He escapes to a junkyard where his hands bring unliving things to life. He has the power of creativity. He's free there, but alone. His detachment increases at the same pace as his world shrinks, until finally one day he is completely isolated, with only his mother. If she fails, everything else will disappear.
