CGiii Comment

It's very different from the typical American teen-coming-of-age flick...

There's nudity, sex scenes - they are, indeed, teenagers.

Proving that, in Europe, teenagers do have sex whilst in America they just masturbate and talk about it - the good old Hollywood ethos.

Much has been lost in translation and the subtitles are a little strange - the ending does leave much to be desired.

It is interesting to see how maturely Denmark treats the subject - compare it to the USA - the late 80s - America is definitely pre-pubescent.
