| Brief Description: | Reminiscent of Young Toerless, this powerful, Oscar-nominated drama stars Andreas Wilson as a teenager in 1950s Sweden who's packed off to boarding school because of his involvement in a series of fights. Within the rigid confines of Stjarnsberg, Erik (Wilson) discovers an inflexible student hierarchy enforced by sadistic violence. At risk of being expelled, Erik is forced to use guile to survive--until the possibility of friendship and love presents him a means of escape. "Watching this time bomb ticking is never less than riveting" (Scott Tobias, The Onion). In Swedish with English subtitles |
