Eleven-year-old Rik is a standing target of bullying among the neighbourhood kids, and his Dad – who should, in Rik’s opinion, put an end to this – is a lost cause. When Dad gets a new job, father and son move to a new town, and Rik sees it as a chance for a fresh start. He introduces himself to his new friends as a son of a mafia boss and radically changes his styling to look more like a gangster’s son. But what is his lies actually start working against him? A charming and funny comedy about a father-son relationship, based on the namesake children’s novel by Marjon Hoffman.
