Description:
Sven, a gentle man with intellectual disabilities, loses his mother and becomes an unpaid farmhand on the wealthy Höglund estate. He's forced to sleep with the animals. There, he meets Anna, another outsider who treats him kindly despite her own challenges. As Sven endures mistreatment from the Höglunds, he makes a brave decision: he leaves the estate and lives with Anna's welcoming family. Through their friendship and shared struggles, Sven learns to feel valued and accepted for himself, finding strength and hope in this moving story.
