Plots(1)
It's not easy having a name like Aksel and being a Danish kid who loves pork meatballs when you'd rather be like the cool Muslim guys from your block and wear necklaces and say clever things in Arabic. Nor is it easy having to go to after-school club for a whole week because it's half term and you were meant to go on holiday with your dad but end up in a trio with Annika and Fatima, two girls who want to sing girlie pop at the club song contest. And when a stray dog gets in the way and Fatima gets grounded, in all probability screwing up their appearance at the song contest, something's just got to be done and Aksel does it, entering an unknown world of rituals and rules, sorting out the song contest and the dog and the grounding problem in his very own way.
