About Buster's World

Buster is eleven years old and treats life like a friendly adventure where magic is real and kindness works wonders. He believes that a pinch of imagination plus a lot of love can smooth any bump in the road. He spends his days helping his younger sister who walks with a limp, supporting his weary parents, and standing by his old friend Mr. Larsen, who is also a master magician in his own eyes. This summer he hopes to be a hit at the town talent show, even as he grapples with a crush on Joanna and the strain of watching Mr. Larsen's health slip away. Through faith, hope and charity, Buster keeps his world spinning and stubborn hope remains.

Released in 2021, the film brings together a Danish creative team led by Martin Miehe-Renard, Bjarne Reuter and Jesper Nicolaj Christiansen, with Manfred Weber Cortzen starring as Buster. Story centers on family warmth and small acts of magic for everyone.
