Little boy meets "mean" life guard., 18 December 2004

Author: Frank (franko-11) from Gothenburg, Sweden

Short story about fairness and misuse of power and privileges seen from a child's perspective - told so that children (and adults) everywhere will understand.

Iver, beautifully portrayed by young Erik Næsbak Brenden, is a young boy who sneaks into the town's indoor public baths where everything he wants to do seems to be breaking the pool's rules and regulations, and sets off the sturdy life guard's whistle. Finally, he's shown to the showers. Iver's mother is late in picking him up, so he has to stay till after closing time and sneaks back into the pool. But he's not alone ...

Although the turning point of the film is a bit too quick and easy, the story is nicely told so that a child easily can follow it and understand - and reflect upon it. Well worth the nine minutes.
