LARP
A high school boy bullied due to playing Elf in LARP games, falls in love with a ‘popular’ girl.
LARP is a coming of age story. Funny and intelligent tale of adolescence, becoming independent and the struggle to fulfil your dreams and remain yourself. Sergius is 17 years old and is a loser, at least his father and older brother treats him like one. The thing he’s good at is LARP (live action role-playing) GAMES. Sergius and a group of alike “losers” are often diving in the fantastic world of the princesses, elves, orcs and imaginary battles. But at school they hide their hobby because they are bullied. One day a new girl appears at his school Helena. Sergius is totally enchanted by her, but she joins the group of the so-called “popular” who don’t talk with such lames like him. Sergius decides to fight for love in a real and fantastic world as well as recognition in the eyes of the father. He becomes brave, confident, and finally able to confront everybody without changing himself, his goals and hobbies.
