My friend Joe (1996) part 1 of 10

I have seen several people around the internet requesting this movie, so here it is. I hope you enjoy it.
A 12 year old Irish boy named Chris is having problems to be accepted to the gang that his friends had formed, because he is afraid of everything. He is always slow on the bicycle, he is afraid to swim, he is afraid to climb to the tree house that his father made for him. Until an American boy named Joe appears and joins the gang. Everyone is excited about the things he can do with his bike and how he seems that isn't afraid of anything. But Joe apparently has a secret. He vanishes for days without notice, no one knows why, no one knows where he lives, and he refuses to talk about it.
The movie is based on a book written by a German-Swedish writer, Peter Pohl and is called Janne, min vän (Johnny, My Friend). Check it out, it is far better than the movie and well, it is just awesome.

@PeridotGrave i see 1enas1 has already replied but i want to add that its perhaps the only book that ive reread as an adult to find almost better than when i originally read it! I really hope the translation is good, cause the original is so great. exciting, thought provoking, complex and fun to read!
