Jørgen lives abroad, but every summer he comes back to Denmark with his wife. He invites, as usual, his neighbours and their teenager son,Thomas, for dinner at his place. Only, this time there is a strange tension in the air between the adults. After dinner, Jørgen and Thomas go to the beach for a walk. They discover that both have secret problems, and the fact they cannot talk about them is creating great stress. As they disclose their secrets to each other, a friendship starts. But through the course of the next two summers their relationship develops in a way they would never have expected.

Notes
While some may think this a story of pedophilia, it would be hard to say that it is seduction by an older man of a youth, but rather the other way around· It's a rather sweet story of friendship, discovery, and shared secrets· I have now viewed the film several times, and have come to appreciate the complexity and sensitivity in the story.
While, the film is available for streaming on YouTube (and elsewhere), the viewing experience was less than satisfying; which is one of the reason's why I purchased the dvd for my collection.
