2009

The adolescent actors Karoline Stemre, Jørgen Hausberg Nilsen and Sindre Kvalvåg Jacobsen give a highly convincing portrayal of their characters, whose families are broken by domestic violence, sexual abuse and accusations. In the face of a lack of parental responsibility, which the films depicts in a socio-critical image of an affluent country,  the film underlines the children’s opportunity of becoming their mutual “brothers-keepers” and of holding onto their hope of a safe family haven.
