Magnus (2007)
Original title: Magnus
Magnus is growing up in a broken family where children are not much cared for, playing games of "what if" with death. He has learned from his parents that he won't live long with his lung disease. Even if for now Magnus has been cured, his anguish has become stronger. He has no meaning of life nor any future plans. His father has been involved in suspicious business and believes he can awaken his son with the same pleasures he is used to himself. Magnus goes to his father with different kind of hopes.
