Lillebror has recently moved from Oslo and out to the countryside with his big brother Phillip and his parents. Once there, he realizes that there is nobody to make friends with. One day, all that changes when his imagination brings him a friend—the stick figure Knerten appears in a pile of wood. While Lillebror's mother is at work and his father is busy traveling, selling underwear, Lillebror has to take care of himself, together with his new friend, Knerten.
