"Lars is LOL" tells an unusual story of friendship and deals warmly and light-footedly with serious topics such as the longing for belonging, bullying, betrayal and self-empowerment. The film is based on the young adult book "Lars, My Friend" by Norwegian author Iben Akerlie.

On the first day of the new school year, eleven-year-old Amanda's joy is dampened by the task of looking after her new classmate Lars. Lars has Down's syndrome. The class - and unfortunately also Adam, with whom Amanda has a crush - pity and ridicule her. Amanda is all the more surprised when a happy friendship develops between her and Lars. But only in secret, because Amanda simply can't fight down her fear that Lars will embarrass her in front of the others. Especially not when she realizes that there is already a disgusting blog that unrestrainedly belittles Lars and could soon target her too. Will Amanda find the courage to stand up for herself and her friendship with Lars?
