A young hedonist disrupts the beach holiday of a bourgeois family, films himself having sex with the daughter and generally undermines their values until the father decides to fight back. An apparent anti-porn polemic paradoxically features explicit sexual imagery, and was heavily censored by the Danish state.
The film will be introduced by Jack Stevenson, author of the book Scandinavian Blue: The Erotic Cinema of Sweden and Denmark in the 1960s and 1970s, who talks about the film's key role in the relaxation of censorship and the eventual decriminalisation of pornography in Denmark.
