有点另类的瑞典电影。成长中的Rille如何打破玻璃墙，坦坦荡荡地面对自己。影片讲述家庭的矛盾，醉酒的爸爸在儿子们心目中酷，但又不负任何责任。开发廊的妈妈，一个人养大孩子。妈妈古板的男朋友，尝试得到孩子们的认可。还有Rille和Erik兄弟俩之间的秘密和矛盾。加在一个足够一场两个小时的drama.

Stockholm, in the 1950s. Erik is expelled from the local school for getting into one brawl too many. To protect Erik from his violent stepfather’s reaction to his expulsion, Erik's mother arranges for Erik to spend a year at Stjärnsberg Boarding School, the only school willing to accept him. This is Erik's last chance to graduate to Upper School and he promises his mother, for his and her sake, to do all he can to stay out of trouble.
