One of the Boys
16-year-old Lau can't stand the popular boys who talk about breasts and sneak out to drink beer in the evening. He is awkward and barely knows the rules of football, and he struggles to live up to the masculine ideals and expectations of his peer group. Outside a small Danish provincial town, on a trip with his friends that will supposedly ‘make him a man’, Lau meets the charming Aksel, who has just moved to the city from Copenhagen. For the first time he realises there are other ways in which he can be a man. Aksel is a free spirit and not afraid to stand up for himself. Lau’s feelings for Aksel deepen and the encounter forces Lau to relise he can longer pretend he is something he is not.
