A slow, uncomfortably intimate Swedish wartime drama about a teenage boy in over his head with his teacher; beautiful and quietly queasy.
What it is
In 1943 Malmö, a curious 15-year-old student becomes involved with his married teacher, who sees their connection as an escape from an unhappy home life. Their secret relationship unfolds alongside the pressures of adolescence, family tensions, wartime uncertainty, and the unequal power between teacher and pupil.
