The Space Among Us is a coming-of-age drama set in the rural town of Kostanjevica na Krki. Tobi is a 14-year-old boy from Canada, who comes to Slovenia with his mother Kristina to spend the summer with his grandma Gizela. Tobi is not excited to spend his holiday away from his father and his friends. The situation gets even worse when local kids start to bully him because of his skin colour. The only positive thing around is a free-spirited girl named Tjaša.
