Quick Answer

What is Bedside Head about?

Bedside Head is a 1972 Danish comedy film directed by John Hilbard about a headmaster who turns his boys' boarding school into a love hotel to raise funds for co-education.

Programmer's Pick

Who says fundraising can’t be fun? Bedside Head delivers a distinctly Danish brand of bawdiness, with a headmaster whose idea of school reform involves turning a boarding school into a summer love hotel. Expect plenty of cheeky nudity and a lesson plan heavy on sex comedy.

Overview

Set in a Danish boys' boarding school, Bedside Head follows the young and progressive headmaster who considers his virile students a national treasure. With an eye toward modernizing the institution by introducing co-education, he faces the hurdle of raising the necessary funds. His unorthodox solution: during summer vacation, the boys stay behind and help transform the school into a temporary love hotel. The film leans into the sex comedy genre, mixing youthful exuberance, risqué humor, and cheeky schemes, all set against the backdrop of a traditional academic institution upended by farcical ambition and a steady stream of scantily clad guests.
