Bubble

At less than twelve, a girl named Kine comes to the conclusion that the world sucks: there are eternal problems with her parents, the town is full of devastation and melancholy, and at school almost the entire sixth “B” for some unknown reason calls her Bubble, and is especially trying nice Jarle. The only place where they don’t get it is a bench among the graves in the cemetery, and even that one is lopsided. It is there that a strange glass ball suddenly appears, possessing many amazing properties: it is able to grow the size of Kine, let her in, fly wherever she wants and fulfill her wishes. Only over time does Kine realize that miracles are not free and that, perhaps, she got carried away with the assessments of this world...

“The refuge bubble can be imagined both as a comfort zone and as an image of personal boundaries, with the help of which a person learns to accept the stings of everyday troubles less painfully.” Artem Roganov, critic
