starring Christian Andrén, Johan Kylén, Anna Bjelkerud

Life is not always easy for 30-year-old Ricard, who suffers from a birth deformity. Sometimes, he escapes into an imaginary world where he turns into an all-powerful giant. In his day-to-day life, he is passionate about French bowls. And to keep his skills honed, he even practises in his bedroom. One day, he is unfairly excluded from the club by his fellow players. But he will do anything to win back his place.
