Jag är här (1989)

Antero, who is 14 years old, lives as a foster child with an elderly couple on a small farm in central Sweden. It is around 1960. His mother, who is an alcoholic and emotionally unstable, has to leave him in an orphanage when he was 7 years old. Sometimes she is overwhelmed by love for her son and then makes clumsy and half-hearted attempts at contact. Antero - isolated and left to himself - both wants and does not want to meet her.
