Los chicos de St. Petri

Synopsis of Los chicos de St. Petri

In late 1942, during the German occupation of Denmark, a group of students from St. Petri school decides to form a clandestine resistance to fight against the Nazis. Led by the local pastor, their actions start as minor pranks, but soon escalate in intensity and danger when a new student named Otto joins the group, bringing a more daring and violent character to their activities. As the situation grows increasingly tense, these young men are forced to grow up quickly amidst the fight for freedom. This acclaimed 1991 Danish film, directed by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, is a historical drama that portrays the courage and sacrifice of youth against oppression.
