Synopsis:

Christmas is coming, something that 12-year-old Jim hardly looks forward to. As the class dork, he's often used by his classmates. At home his anxious mother is not able to get out of bed. One day, weird Terje (called 'Pitbullterje') moves into the neighborhood. He insists on being best buddies with Jim, even if this leads to even more problems for him. 'Pitbullterje' is a comedy about lies, social pressure and friendship. A new boy, Terje, joins Jim's class. Terje is huge, doesn't make friends easily (partly because he keeps threatening to send his pitbull to kill them) and has a father who likes beer a lot and has a part time job as Santa Claus at the local mall. Terje's arrival changes Jim's life: Jim now has to choose: should he grasp the opportunity of joining the cool kids (because they now have an even easier target than himself to pick on), or should he try to make friends with Terje?

Jim is a 12 year old outsider. He has a mother with anxiety and he lives a hard life. At school he is smallest in his class, and compelled to buy beer and smoke and have party's in his garage. Home is different: He's the father of the house, and takes care of his mother, who has isolated herself in bed with a video of the moon landing on VHS. She's not going out of her house due to anxiety. One day Terje (an overweight boy who claims to own a pit bull) starts in his class. He gets excluded from the class society, but he considers Jim as his best friend making him choose between an outsider friend and his poor social status.
