Hubert is 16 and actually loves his mother - but he just can't stand being her son! It's not just because she wears tasteless sweaters, eats ugly sandwiches or puts on make-up while driving. She is also constantly making false promises, never really listens to him and generally rejects all blame. The fact that he has to go to boarding school at some point doesn't make things any better. In the slipstream of this passionate love-hate relationship, Hubert has his first boyfriend, makes artistic discoveries and tries to bring order to the chaos of his life and emotions. In other words: he grows up.
