This sensitive Swedish film follows a young boy on his rocky road to manhood. Sixten, a young teen, lives with his lonely father. Since they divorced, he seldom sees his mother who moved to Copenhagen. Because his father is lonely, and also over-protective of Sixten, the boy decides to find his father a wife. Using his dad's name, Sixten begins answering ads from the lonely hearts section. As he begins meeting some of the women he writes, he finds his own sexuality blossoms and culminates in a summer romance with a female schoolmate. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Roland (Jesper Salen) is a boy growing up in Stockholm. It is the middle of the 1920s, and he suffers from the twin handicaps of being Jewish and the son of a socialist. However, despite the taunts and bullying he endures, he gets in a few licks of his own, and manages to have some fun (and get some revenge on his tormentors). One particularly successful ploy of his is to take some of the illegal condoms his mother is selling in her tobacco store and use them to power some slingshots he has made, sellling them to neighborhood boys. This affectionate, richly detailed portrait of a man's early adolescence in pre-war Stockholm is based on an autobiographical novel by Roland Schutt) ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
