Eight-year-old Tsatsiki lives in Stockholm with his mother Tina. He has never met his father, a Greek octopusfisherman, who does not know he has a son. Tsatsiki dreams of going to Greece and meeting his father. Tina plays guitar in a group and dreams of becoming a rock star. When Tina rents out a room to Göran, a policeman, he and Tsatsiki become friends. Göran likes to dance and dreams of love. Another of Tsatsiki's friends is Per from school. And then there is Maria, his secret love. Their dreams will all come true, but perhaps not in the way they would expect. (official distributor synopsis)
