Erlend E. Mo, Denmark, 2005

57 min.DK/DocumentaryChildren's films

Jonathan is 11 years old and ponders a great deal over things, much more than most children his age. When Jonathan was 8 years old his father committed suicide. To Jonathan the suicide was a great shock, as his father never talked about his problems. Not long after the suicide, Jonathan is diagnosed with bone cancer and is forced into a long period of illness and treatment. With courage, humour, vitality, and frankness, Jonathan, his mother, and two brothers, pull together to work their way through grief and illness. With sympathetic insight, the director, Erlend Mo, has followed the family's mental and physical struggle for over a year.
