Pelle Nørhmann is no one special. Just an ordinary 12-year old. A bit too ordinary, if you ask him: Pelle is a loner and the most beautiful girl at school, Amanda, with whom he has been secretly in love since preschool, hardly knows he exists. Actually it's only the bullies at school who notice Pelle. One day, while they're chasing him through the sleepy suburbs, Pelle hides in his neighbor's scary garden. He escapes the bullies but is bitten by a large and strange-looking ant. Pelle thinks nothing of the bite but that night he's haunted by mysterious dreams. When he wakes up the next morning he has gained all the powers of the ant: super strength, a heightened sense of smell, and the ability to climb walls. Oh yeah... and he pees acid.

At first glance, it seems like a nice family film, but upon reflection, it's really nothing more than a classic retelling of Spider-Man's origin story, except with the difference that the boy here is actually young and doesn't have spider abilities but ant abilities, which isn't a huge novelty either. The plot is standard comic book fare, offering nothing new, and it’s even softer.
