TJARG (16) is sick of his brother’s grief taking over everything. First their daily life, now their home: In honor of their late mother, EIK (8) has been folding paper kites. Relentlessly. Until one afternoon, they start flooding their flat. Big ones and small ones, ubiquitous and orange, leaving no room for Tjarg to escape. As the brothers end up in a fight, Tjarg desperately tries to make space for himself – throwing all kites off the balcony.
An 8-minute short, confronting two brothers with their very different forms of grief, and with the question of how to still be there for one another.
