A film about child actors on film and television when the Swedish children’s films and television series era was at its peak. Several generations loved and admired the characters they played. Some of them are still very popular, like Pippi Longstocking, but others we have forgotten about. Swedish former child actors talk about their experiences in front of the camera – about working almost as if they were adults. About always being recognized everywhere they went and about constantly being reminded of their past on the screen. Very openly they share their memories and thoughts about becoming stars overnight. The benefits of being taken seriously, being acknowledged and making some money. But also the disadvantages of becoming famous at an early age and being forced to live with their film characters for the rest of their lives.
