Overview

Seventeen-year-old Birthe returns home from boarding school only to witness her mother in a compromising situation, an event that propels her into the unknown territory of Copenhagen's hippie scene. Fleeing her conservative upbringing, Birthe immerses herself in a world filled with hashish, vibrant characters, and sexual experimentation, including lesbian encounters and a relationship with a black American medical student. As she navigates exotic dancers, Hell's Angels, and the fringes of society, Birthe's journey becomes a provocative exploration of sexual awakening against the backdrop of Denmark’s shifting social norms. This is a film that situates coming-of-age drama firmly within the crosscurrents of the early '70s European counterculture.
