Kick Me in the Traditions!

Edward Fleming, Denmark, 1979

106 min.DK/Feature

Folksy-farcical fun is milked from novelist Leif Panduro's 1958 satire classic. David, a senior high-school student, aims a swift kick at his principal's behind and is committed to a psychiatric ward from the perspective of which he takes a close look at his allegedly sane family. They, of course, are the real loonies. The psychiatrists are worse. Only lovely class-mate Lis is down-to-earth and trustworthy.
