Aksel starts middle school and quickly becomes a victim of bullies. The teachers don't really take action and eventually a creeping feeling comes over him that Aksel doesn't understand. He sweats and everything feels scary and empty. He finds comfort in small moments with a cycling buddy. Being a so-called nerd isn't easy, and when Aksel loses the one he loves the most, everything becomes really hard. Is there an answer to the existential question: What happens after death?

The play depicts the existential period of adolescence and is about daring to be yourself, despite everything, even if it costs a little – and finding your own thing, like creating comics.
