Details

Caught vandalising a garden, 17-year-old Kitten is sent by his Youth Offending Officer Carole to carry out tasks at the home of Viktor, a 70-year-old pensioner living in Armley. Consumed with memories of his past, Viktor is paid visits by a mysterious woman named Ingrid and becomes increasingly caught up in his own thoughts; meanwhile Kitten is distracted from his tasks when he hears a noise coming from Viktor's shed and discovers 15-year-old runaway Little Houdini inside. As Little Houdini strives to remain hidden, Kitten begins to learn about Viktor and his experiences of breaking rules, stowing away and fighting for survival as a young man trapped on the Eastern side of Berlin. A tender and imaginative drama in which boundaries are crossed, divides are conquered and unlikely friendships made.
