The Giant

Rikard (Christian Andrén), a 30-year-old man with autism and severe facial deformity, finds solace in the game of pétanque and dreams of reconnecting with his estranged mother, whom he was separated from as a child. As he pursues success in a national championship, he struggles with feelings of abandonment and the hope of reconciliation, often escaping into a fantasy world where he's a 50-meter-tall giant. This heartwarming drama blends realism with fantasy, reflecting both the challenges of disability and the resilience of the human spirit.
