Synopsis:
Ben, a 12-year-old boy, has just entered puberty, and suddenly his weight becomes a problem—for him and for everyone around him. The other kids bully him, his divorced parents do not know how to help, and even the school nurse is worried about him. So, despite his love of food and his talent for cooking, Ben decides to take drastic action: he goes on a diet. Maybe things will change, and maybe he will even win the heart of Klara, the girl of his dreams. In the end, Ben learns that what truly matters is not how you look, but how you feel.
