Sven is just 17, looks completely normal and could easily be our own son or brother. That is the strength of this film. Sven appears to be like any other teenager but he has a dark secret. As much as he loathes his own feelings Sven is irresistibly attracted to prepubescent boys. He searches them out with his video camera posing as a casting scout and persuading them to dance around half naked, kiss his finger and perhaps even more.
His father discovers this and wrestles with the problem. But can it be solved? Does outright revulsion and condemnation achieve anything? Will Sven always be a pedophile? These are the central questions of a drama that has huge relevance to our modern society. It is well acted, crisply scripted and hugely sympathetic to the sheer tragedy of pedophilia and our general difficulties in dealing with it.
Well recommended.
