Movie description:
This non-narrative film starts off with Kresten who is about seven years old arriving at the home of some friends of his parents. There he resides for the next week or so and chums up with the family’s five year old: Ole. Soon, it becomes apparent that the eldest of this twosome is experiencing a stage of sexual curiosity, and he initiates his younger friend into a variety of games involving mutual exposure to satiate himself.
The second half of the film places Ole in high school and explores his romantîsexual interest in a female peer, perhaps suggesting that his homoerotic experiences during childhood did not impact his sexual development, the teenage Ole seeming rather typical for a heterosexual adolescent. Finally, he is shown as a young man, busily engaged in the amorous pursuit of a trainee nurse, but not before another flashback to his early sexual-curiosity with Kresten.
In »Boys« (»Drenge«), Malmros used his own childhood experiences to relate his story, this time about an Århus schoolboy’s sexual development told in three phases from child to teenager to young man. The film premiered in 1977 and in 1978, Malmros won his second »Bodil Award for Best Danish Film«.
In the scene where the two boys »play bare« in the bathroom, the boys were filmed one at a time with Malmros (the director) as the opposing player off screen. To evoke the right embarrassed expression on each of the boys, Malmros took off his pants suddenly during filming.

Rocky 62
Ein Film, wie er wohl nur in Skandinavien in den siebziger und frühen achtziger Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts entstehen konnte (siehe auch: »Barnens ö« oder »You are not alone«). Bei der Badezimmerszene mit den beiden Jungen wurde jeder einzeln gefilmt und, um einen möglichst realistischen verlegenen Ausdruck der Jungen zu erwirken, zog beim Dreh plötzlich auch Regisseur Malmros die Hosen aus. Leider sind solche Filme und Themen durch den Einfluß von Moralaposteln und sogenannter Kinderschützer, die Kinder und Jugendliche vor natürlicher Nacktheit bewahren wollen, anscheinend heute nicht mehr möglich. Die beiden Darsteller von »You are not alone« sagen übereinstimmend, daß sie keine Probleme hatten, sich nackt zu zeigen, und es bis heute nicht bereut hätten, den Film zu machen, ganz im Gegenteil. Leider leben wir heute wieder in einer verklemmten, bigotten, spröden Welt. Das ist sehr schade und traurig.
