The male half of this film is offal, while the female part is numinal and transcendent. Young males visit Europe and have problems with women, and these characters never rise above the level of offensive louts in parts not well written. The centerpiece of the film is the advent of 20-year-old Frederikke Dahl Hansen, here playing a 14-year- old girl. Hansen's character is not a sexpot, but her husky, erratic voice (does she have spasmodic dysphonia) endears her to males, as does her kindness, freedom, clarity of thought and astuteness. She pedals carefree around Copenhagen in loud-green pants. Her moment of karaoke singing in a bar reveals her soulfulness, her sincerity, her tender heart. Male viewers react to this by feeling protective of Hansen, and cherishing this role. Why the part calls for her to be 14 doesn't scan except perhaps to convey that her childlike innocence can bring out the best in men.
