Trouble starts when Lars, a 25-year-old with few prospects for the future, discovers that an older man is fooling around with the teenage boys in his suburb. A terrible rage is triggered in Lars, and he embarks on a crusade to stop the abuser. But it soon spins out of control, and Lars' actions end up endangering those he set out to protect.
Acting
Kaalstad's Lars: pathetic, terrifying, weirdly sympathetic.
Direction
Strand walks a razor's edge between satire and genuine horror.
Writing
Every scene asks: who exactly are we rooting for here?

Director
Erik Richter Strand
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of mid-2000s Norwegian cinema examining masculine crisis through dark comedy, alongside Reprise and The Bothersome Man.
Strand intentionally cast Kaalstad against type—known for goofball roles—to weaponize audience comfort with him.
