Movie description:
Jonny is 13 years old, and lives in an orphanage. His father is dead, and his mother is not able to take care of him. He wishes for a family, and he hopes he can find that with the Kobergs. Their two sons are happy about the possibility of getting a new brother, but their sister is not happy about the situation. Nonetheless, they agree to give Jonny a chance to visit on the weekends and holidays, but all too soon they find that it isn’t all that easy to create a family, and conflicts between Jonny and the other members of the family are only a matter of time.
