A weak, dyslexic boy is bullied in school. His Tarzan obsessed dad calls him Rubber Tarzan. He makes a friend in crane driver Ole, who tells him: There's always something, you're good at. You just have to know what it is.
Ivan is a very lonely 8 year boy who is bullied almost every day in school. Even his father taunts him because Ivan litteraly is a weakling (That should explain the title Rubber Tarzan). As a result of this Ivan spends a lot of his time on daydreaming until he meets a kind of kindred spirit - the friendly and lonely crane driver Ole.—Jorn100580

Now, Ivan has to start believing in himself to save what's left of his crushed self-confidence. But there must be something Ivan shines at. The question is, will the bullied rubber Tarzan discover it in time?—Nick Riganas
