    Storyline

    Edit
    Seventeen year old Danny's parents are separated. He lives with his mother with whom he is unable to get along with. He adores his father, but feeling abandoned Danny tries to attract his attention and love any way he can; by being in turns aggressive, hostile, nice, or apathetic. When his father announces he's going to marry Susan, Danny becomes desperate. —Willy Vanhaelen <willy.vanhaelen@advalvas.be> edited by TrivWhiz

    What happened to little Ricky?
    Ricky Schroder from The Champ has gone all tough on us. He's dropped the last syllable of his name for the much butcher "Rick", put on a heavy leather jacket, rides a motorbike and smokes cigarettes. To top it all off, he uses bad language and even managed to grow a bit of facial hair.

    But just so that we know he's a good boy at heart, he wears white trousers, which is very impractical when you're riding a motorbike on dirt tracks.
