About sex and about understanding. About imagination, creation and clashes. About authority and reason. Maybe not all these things are seen at first. They are the background.
The solid background that gives credibility to the characters and power to the story. A dreamer like Aske, puts the educational system in the limelight and leads the rest to discover why young people can think and do. Why there are reasons in life more important than just "living my life". Why the others are seldom regarded as the very motivation to do anything, and, when they become part of our lives, our view of our own can change entirely. The one who makes this story so moving and so deep.
His emotions, his beliefs, his feelings are rooted in a wonderful soul that cares about his friends. Someone always available to give a hand. With firm convictions and reassuring when anyone needs him. The peacemaker. A beautiful and amazing Kim. His honesty, his absolute confidence in love and his smile make of him Bo's natural friend.
What really makes this character glow is his smile. He is happy with life, even when he finds the normal bumps that lead others to despair or level things out with anger.
He enjoys the small things. The ones that count. From a bit of fresh air to a bottle of wine which, he discovers, should not be abused. Most interesting is Ole's role. His character turns the balance of the whole story into something worth studying for any teacher, school system, etc.
Ole is alone. And he needs the care provided by his peers. And, eventually, even with his bully ways, he mends his life and comes to terms with the world. The seventies were times of amazing richness, and this is shown openly here.
Maybe one of the issues that make your eyes shine is the open difference between what led to some modern educational ideas and how they clashed with the old ones. This was Denmark, and it was the seventies. The final act is freakin' awesome. Watch this film. You won't be disappointed. Watch it thinking about the story, and this time oh, it's me saying this I can't believe it , just this time, forget about cinematography.

Storyline Edit. The leisurely paced tale explores the relationship between 14 year-old Bo and Kim,11, the younger son of the stern boarding school headmaster. Mounting school tensions over the expulsion of a troubled student threaten to sabotage the tranquility of the school.
Did you know Edit. Trivia There was not enough money left in the budget to re-shoot some scenes that turned out too dark. Had these scenes been with light in the film correctly exposed, the movie would have had another ending, although the story would have been basically the same. Connections Follows Leave Us Alone User reviews 25 Review. Top review. An Excellent And Touching Film.
I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film, although the subtitling on my copy lagged a little nearer the end. It was a charming view of life at a Danish boarding school where two boys meet for the first time, and their friendship slowly evolves into something more. I wish that more films were like this and, having just finished watching it, I want nothing more than to start it again and watch it over, however I have to go out in 5 minutes, so I shall have to wait for tomorrow.
