Runaway

Florian is a mad-keen footballer and has been looking forward to his sports club’s annual North Sea summer camp for ages. But then his sister Sarah is diagnosed with cancer, again, and from that moment on Florian takes a back seat. His parents tell him the trip is too expensive. Florian is furious; unable to bear the depressing atmosphere at home any longer, he goes off to summer camp without telling either his mum or dad. Florian throws himself into having a great time, but finds it harder and harder to get into the holiday spirit – he is worried about Sarah, and the fact that his parents never call and evidently don’t miss him eats away at him. What if Sarah has taken a turn for the worse?
