Henrik G. Poulsen

Danish melodrama about a housemaid struggling to find normalcy and love in the midst of war.

Denmark, 1961. Bjørn, a middle-class boy in his early teens, wants to be accepted by Steen, a bullying peer of his with wealthy but freezingly cold parents. Bjørn's other good friend is Mulle, a cheerful and more childish working-class boy. All three seem friends at first, but gradually Steen starts pushing Mulle away while pulling the impressionable Bjørn with him towards more and more violence.

A man decides to perpetrate a series of killings and publicise them as political acts in an attempt to protest against nuclear armaments.
