Nuclear Boy
What will a lonely boy do for attention?
Inspired by true events, the film tells the story of a 17-year-old boy named Aike, who seeks attention by posting online videos of dangerous chemistry experiments. Aike’s mother signs him up for the scouts so that he can make friends and get out of the house more often. However, instead of making friends, Aike is completely ignored. To attract the attention of his online fans, he builds a nuclear breeder reactor. Basking in his success, he goes to the scout camp, where he gradually befriends the other boys. To his great surprise, it turns out that they too were once lonely like him. Just when everything seems to be going well, Aike has to face the consequences of his actions.
Suitable for ages 12 and above.
