The year is 1990 when Macaulay Culkin breaks through with the role of Kevin McCallister in the hit film Home alone. He is then ten years old, but already has a long career with several films and stage productions on his CV. Macaulay is an adorable child star who takes the audience by storm. Almost everyone recognizes him, wherever he goes. But when Macaulay grows up, it will sound different. Then the image of the innocent mischief from Ensam Hemma is gone, at the same time as he will forever be associated with the role.
This program is a story about the press on child stars, the questionable friendship with Michael Jackson but above all the story of a man who is refused to grow up.
