Drenge

Drenge is Nils Malmros's third feature film and is a somewhat slight tale about the doctor's son Ole, whose experiences with the opposite sex and his own sexuality the film depicts. A large part of the story takes place when Ole is only 5. A playmate comes to visit who is considerably more precocious than he is. The story then cuts forward to Ole's first love at upper secondary school, a girl who eventually drops him for someone else. This is not least due to her parents' interference. The last episode takes place during his student years, when Ole and a friend hook two sweet student nurses.

There is not much drama in Drenge, but Malmros certainly has a keen eye for the world of children and young people, and the dialogue is irresistible too.
