Synopsis:

We follow Johan, an 11-years old boy through a sunny day with his two friends, Felix and Clara. The three kids find a dead bird on the street. Johan, our main character, has the idea for a funeral. The funeral happens in a playful manner. Later, the kids walk out of the forest to a field. At a field they pass by, stands an old bathtub full of water. Felix suddenly puts his head under water to see how long he can hold his breath. Feeling the pressure of Felix and Clara's attention, Johan decides to go under water as well. Johan gives it a second try. This time Felix pushes him down. He is trying to humiliate him and doesn't let go. A fight develops while Johan is under water. Clara interrupts the situation, but Johan doesn't raise his head out of the water.

Later, Clara and Felix walk alone through the forest. Further away from them walks Johan. He takes a different path than the others. He wanders back to the animal's graves from before. Johan destroys them. The film deals with the discovery of self-mortality, exploring death through kids' eyes and playful interpretation of adult rituals

Johan (10-12)

Johan is about eleven years old. He is small and shy but has a big heart. Johan's best friend for years is Felix but at times they don't get along well. They fight a lot since Clara came into their friendship. Johan has a little crush on her and tries to make her laugh as much as possible. His biggest insecurity is that he still can't read the clock. Only Felix knows about that.

Felix (10-12)

Felix is a thirteen years old boy. Somehow his face is always dirty and his jeans are ripped at the knees. He is stronger than his friend Johan. He is always full of energy which he fails to control from time to time. Felix doesn't like the fact that Clara and Johan get along so well. He is the leader of the small friend group. Felix has a lot of problems at home which leaves him with anger and frustration and the urge to prove himself.

Clara (10-12)

Clara is in the same age as Johan. She has long, braided hair and always a smile on her freckled face. Her brown eyes light up when she smiles. Clara joined the friend group only recently. She likes Johan's jokes and cares for him.

The kids should be able to speak danish, since the movie is in danish.
