CGiii Comment
The sexual awakenings at a boys school - Danish style.
Important as a comparison of time and culture.
A difficult (almost taboo) subject is dealt with tenderly - non-Europe would not touch this with a barge pole especially with the nudity......and in the 70s!
Quite incredible. A cinematic landmark.

A student strike at a Danish boys school is the backdrop of YOU ARE NOT ALONE. The leisurely paced tale explores the relationship between 15-year-old Bo and Kim, the younger son of the stern boarding school headmaster. Mounting school tensions over the expulsion of a troubled student threaten to sabotage the tranquility of the school.
