One of The Boys takes place in a small town where boys traditionally go on a manhood trip before starting high school. Socially awkward Lau must prove he’s a real man, while struggling with his attraction to another boy. It becomes a sensitive, funny, heart breaking and poetic glimpse of a small, hyper masculine provincial town in Denmark.

Our take

An accurate and poetic coming-of-age tale that makes us question our perception of masculinity and offers other possibilities to today’s teenage boys.
