CGiii Comment
Beautifully observed...with a comical eye.
Beautifully filmed and touchingly acted.
This is a sort of coming out teen drama devoid of the overwrought angst and the anxiety that most films of this ilk portray.
In fact, it's not a big deal - it's an unfolding, a gentle realisation.
It lulls you into a false sense of security - the well-adjusted teens aren't that well-adjusted...a reflection on the adults around them.
It is a deeply moving film that will linger for a long time...simply because of its appreciated originality.
Damn fine work.

The(ir) Blurb...
It's November 1989, and the Berlin Wall is falling. In Stavanger, Norway, teenage boy Jarle has a great new girlfriend and is starting a rock band with his buddies. But when a new boy, the synth pop-listening Yngve, joins his class, Jarle is more fascinated than he wants to be, and the world as he knows it starts to crumble.
