Ping-pongkingen
The King of Ping Pong
A warm and humorous drama full of depth and originality set in the far north. RILLE (16) is ostracised and bullied; a nobody. Everywhere, that is, except in the ping-pong room. There he rules; he is the King of Ping Pong. His brother Erik (13) is charming, respected and loved by all. Despite the profound difference between them, they share the same blood; at least that is what they both believe.

When they learn the truth about their father during their spring break, they become bitter adversaries engaged in a life and death struggle.
