From Lars Von Trier's ZENTROPA studios
"American Pie," Danish-style! Aage Rais-Nordentoft’s gritty and frank coming-of-age drama scores with authentic performances from its non-professional cast and insightful script that intimately captures the impulsiveness and awkwardness of adolescence. Jakob, Bo, and Mikkel are high school students whose passions are soccer, girls, and renting videos. Jakob is devastated when the girl of his dreams moves to Africa, but strikes up a tentative romance with classmate Mathilde. Mikkel has a crush on a counter girl at the local diner. Bo, whose talent attracts the attention of professional scouts, falls under the influence of a fast crowd. Through sexual fantasies, all-night parties and petty crimes, the trio's friendship is put to the supreme test.
