The boy who walked backwards

Andreas does not step on the lines when he walks on the pavement. Now and then he knocks his chest when he wants to protect himself. 9-year-old Andreas is carrying something unbearable: When it was his mother's birthday, he and his big brother Mikkel made a joke. Great success. Everybody was happy and Andreas got drunk. The next morning his father would take Mikkel to school on his motor cycle. But a traffic accident kills Mikkel and gives his father a brooding disposition. The family moves into a new house to start afresh. But neither the new house nor the kind, new class and teacher are able to relieve Andreas' great sorrow. He speaks to Mikkel through a home-made walkie-talkie. He gets the obsession that it is only a question of putting the clock back. He observes many rules and makes many tests.
