About
Stian would be an ordinary 11-year-old boy, if, no matter where he is, whether at home, on the bus or at school, he wasn't accompanied everywhere by two sports commentators. Being a kid isn't easy, and Stian in every episode of the series faces new challenges of everyday life, such as how to buy a computer game if you aren't old enough or how to watch your favorite late TV show. But most of all he wants to attract the attention of Sara, the prettiest girl in school!
