About You Are Not Alone
Young teenager Bo is too sensitive for the hothouse atmosphere of a boarding school run by a cold, unfeeling would-be man of the cloth. Lonely and scared, he finds a soulmate in the headmaster's son Kim with whom he forms a bond of friendship... that slowly grows into something more.
Directed by Ernst Johansen, Lasse Nielsen, You Are Not Alone leans on a strong ensemble — Anders Agensø, Peter Bjerg, Jørn Faurschou — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
