Strawberry

Hannah has a mum and a dad and strawberry plants on the balcony. Just like every year, she is looking forward to when the strawberries will be ripe. But this year everything is different because mum and dad have suddenly decided to separate.

Strawberry is the story of a perfectly normal divorce, told from the child’s perspective. With hurt, angry, sad, playful and comical situations, everyday life is sliced up like a strawberry gateau.
