The boys are actually one and the same, Ole, as seen through three ages and episodes: as a small boy having a boy cousin as his house guest; as a high-school boy in abject love; and as a young stud trying to bed down a nurse. Everything is observed with sadness, wry humor and a sharp ear for colloquial youthful dialogue by director Nils Malmros in this third revisiting of his childhood city of Århus.
