Movie description:
The 12-year-old boy Dennis Petersen lives in Copenhagen with his mother. Since the death of his father his mother has been both depressed and over-protective. At school he struggles to cope with a mean and obsessive teacher, and on top the girl he likes seems to be more interested in his best friend than in him. One day he walks into a church and, expecting little effect, exclaims his wishes of better luck at home and at school. By a miracle, an angel who looks a lot like Dennis’ father appears and presents him the gift of a pair of angel wings. From then on, Dennis can literally get anything he points at, changing the behaviour of other people as he sees fit. It’s the experience of a lifetime, but can it last?
