Otherwise I’m not a Human Being

Norwegian title: Ellers er jeg ikke noe menneske

Agnar Lirhus

Mathilde is fourteen. She doesn't want to go to school. Mom doesn't understand what's going on – even when Mathilde ends up in the hospital.

Mathilde doesn't have any friends other than a dog named Eddi, and Xiu, a friend she plays with online. But Xiu also has his, or her, own problems.

Otherwise I'm not a Human Being is about being bullied, but still standing up for yourself, for others, and for the world. And about the fact that most things are the grown ups' fault.
