Farligt venskab

Farligt venskab is a fairly entertaining thriller about the schoolboy Jonas, who without his knowledge comes into the sights of the sports doctor Dr Wahlin. Dr Wahlin is terminally ill, in fact he has only a couple of months left to live, but he has made an invention that enables him to overcome his fate. With the device he can swap bodies with a healthy individual, and that individual is Jonas, who suspects nothing because Dr Wahlin examines and advises the whole basketball team he plays on. The swap takes place, putting Jonas in a hopeless situation, until he manages to convince his best friend Teis of his true self. Teis and Jonas now go all out to get Jonas his healthy body back.

Farligt venskab is first and foremost a film for young people, for in a film aimed at adults the transfer of one person's soul and brain into another body could have been treated with greater thoroughness and seriousness. As it is, Faurschou gets too little out of the body swap, which lends itself to more funny situations than the film offers. So the plot is typically Danish: very simple, a little too simple.
