Everyone Else

Norwegian title: Alle de andre

Koki lives with her mother and has her own room behind a curtain. They love books and go on holiday to the library, because from there, they can travel anywhere in the world.

The other children in her class have new clothes and get smoothies for lunch. They travel abroad on holiday and have big parties for their birthdays. Why doesn't Koki have the same? Why do they never travel anywhere? And is her room really a proper room when she lives behind a curtain?

In Norway, over 10,000 children live in families with persistently low income. Growing up with limited financial resources has a major impact on children's social inclusion and their physical and mental health. In Everyone Else, Gro Dahle portrays how this sense of exclusion leaves its mark.
