The most important person in 11-year-old Osvald´s life is his father, a man with a good but weak heart, a man who loves opera, choral singing, and soccer----but a man, too, with a drinking problem. The year is 1959. It is summer, and Osvald discovers for the first time that his father, despite good prospects of coming to grips with both himself and his family, turns to the bottle whenever he gets the chance. But Osvald has decided his father is the kindest person in the world----and that he will save him through his indefatigable faith in him. He is the only one who is privy to the secret of his father.
