Υπόθεση:
Lillebror »Junior«, a mischievous and quick-witted boy, has just moved out of town and not made any new friends yet. One day he discovers a twig – Knerten – in a pile of firewood, and this be-comes his imaginary friend. When Lillebror’s mother gets a job in a general store and his father is out traveling as an underwear salesman, Lillebror has to manage on his own most of the day. With Knerten in hand, he encounters a new everyday rural life filled with colorful characters and challenges. But can a pine twig be a real friend – and can the family afford to stay in the run-down house? His teenage brother is sympathetic but not much help.
Strong? Yes. Brave? Yes. A twig? Yes. Ordinary? No! Because twigs like Twigson don’t grow on trees. Twigs like Twigson exists in fantasies and play with you in the woods when you find it hard to be with everyone else. Twigs like Twigson don’t like to be left in an anthill, but will join you in the search of golden princesses. Twigs like Twigson don’t mind the fact that father sells underwear and stockings, or that big brother cuts his hair to fit in. Twigs like Twigson aren’t worried about having to fit in. It’s a real shame that there aren’t more Twigsons around.
Twigson is funny. He is animated. And Twigson is Junior’s faithful companion on all his adventures. Mother and father are worried about how they are going to pay the bills; the roof is collapsing, and Junior even falls through it. It’s not always easy. Luckily, Junior and Twigson are able find solutions for almost everything. To earn some extra cash you can for example bring back the same bottles twice and claim the deposit for them a second time. Sometimes even a littl twig can make all the difference, as this story about an unusual friendship portrays.
