Du er ikke alene (1978)


"Du er ikke alene" foregår på en efterskole for drenge. Den skildrer dels elevernes oprør mod den autoritære forstander, dels et kærlighedsforhold mellem en af drengene og forstanderens søn. Så opstår spørgsmålet: er drengene bare regulært venner, eller krydser de grænsen til så kontroversielt et begreb som kærlighed?

In a post-primary boys' boarding school, a nice but irresolute headmaster one day imposes his authority too harshly. He expels a boy for a petty offense, and a regular rebellion breaks out. At the same time, an attachment has been formed between another boy and the headmaster's son. Their relationship is soon seen as controversial: have the boys crossed the thin line between friendship and love?

DU ER IKKE ALENE (YOU ARE NOT ALONE, internationally) is a classic film from Denmark. It has probably shocked the world during its release but in time it has proven that it is indeed an extraordinary feature. It genuinely showcased the boys' innocent private scenes with the boys after school. A must see!
