A small-town tale of Niels, a 14-year-old boy with nothing on his mind but handball. His coach, recognizing his great goal-keeping talent, takes special care of him. On the night of the qualification rounds for the final Danish championships, the coach throws a party for the whole team and lets Niels and his girlfriend Pernille use his bedroom, but Niels falls asleep and things take a surprising turn, which puts Niels under pressure both on and off the field.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a fragile adolescent world where sporting ambition and personal boundaries collide with adult authority. It explores mechanisms of trust and its violation, relying not on explicit depiction but on an unsettling atmosphere and the child's perspective.
What lingers after viewing is a heavy sense of the unspoken and a question about the price of silence. Those who tire of simplistic sports dramas will find a subtle psychological study of trauma. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Lars Kristian Mikkelsen
