terkel in trouble

Terkel inTroble (along with The Five Obstructions were my favorite pictures at the Vancouver International Film Festival this year


synopsis:
Terkel is eleven years old. He's having trouble with Steen and Saki, two bullies in his class at school. Luckily, Terkel has a really good friend, Jason. But when Terkel teases Dorrit, an obese girl, so badly that she jumps out of the window, it almost ends their friendship. Jason is pretty fed up with Terkel and his tendency to suck up to the bullies. Maybe Terkel ought to be worrying about who is throwing bricks through his bedroom window at night, and Gunnar, the slightly too smug substitute teacher. From the director of the critically acclaimed box-office hit "Help, I'm a Fish"/"Hjælp, Jeg er en Fisk" (2000), an award-winner at Chicago Film Festival.
