Welcome to a warm and beautiful family performance with a topical theme!

Sol is nine years old and lives with her mother at her grandfather’s house in Rjukan. Her mother works as a hostess in the summer, but during the winter she does nothing but lie under the duvet – the adults call it bipolar.

Sol and Grandpa have their own little universe, with a model of the Krossobanen where Grandpa used to work, and they each have their own walkie-talkie so they can always stay in touch.

But what happens when Grandpa ends up in a nursing home – what if the health service discovers that Mom can’t take care of Sol?

Maybe the new neighborhood kids Run and Limp can help?
