In this film, made by a group of young Norwegian filmmakers, several of the main characters are played by debuting actors. The story oscillates between various genres – drama, thriller and tragicomedy. Its heroes are caught in a trap between childhood and adulthood, in a period of their lives when they still know nothing of the ruses life has up its sleeve and are unable to deal with harsh realities. 25-year-old Lars works as a lifeguard and attendant at a swimming pool in south Oslo. While his childhood friend Jorgen has a girlfriend with a baby on the way, Lars lives alone. His only form of amusement is watching football on television with a can of beer. But when he discovers Hans hanging around the pool, a guy universally known to have pedophilic tendencies, Lars decides to take matters into his own hands. Armed with a video camera, he keeps a close watch on Hans and, during this private punitive expedition, tries to keep young Tim out of harm's way. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
