Dad Magnet - Loneliness, Resilience, Childhood, Companionship

Kwinten, a 12-year-old with a vibrant outdoor spirit, confronts the pangs of loneliness. With his best friend Obi relocated and his father, the commanding hero of the navy ship F931 Louise-Marie, frequently away at sea, Kwinten grapples with absence. Though the sting of 'missing' is familiar, each parting with his father renews the challenge. Amidst this backdrop of emotional voids, Kwinten discovers unexpected companionship and comfort alongside his dog Jagmur, donkey Carmen, and the neighbour's affable pig, Knorre.
