Summaries

A lonely teenage boy of divorced parents and an alcoholic mother makes friends with a mysterious man who moves into the flat opposite his.

MAJA (45) and JAN (14), mother and son, live in an apartment building in a small, unnamed town. Recently divorced, MAJA is a psychologist at a nearby primary school, where Jan goes, and is currently in the final grade. The film starts in the last days of April 2020, with strict anti-epidemic measures implemented in school. JAN is extremely lonely, hurt by his parent's divorce, and suffering abuse in school. His new schoolmate is JAKOB, who tried to commit suicide unsuccessfully. MAJA is in charge of JAKOB'S rehabilitation, but JAKOB is a part of a gang that terrorizes schools, especially JAN. If JAN wants to survive these last months, he has to lose the mysterious title of "sunshine" that bullies have given him. JAN finds solace in a mysterious man, also named JAN, who is living in a flat opposite his and is as violent as he is infantile. Meanwhile, MAJA starts to drink again, feeling lost and pressured by newcomer NEJA, a chillingly kind and competitive young psychologist.—Perfo
