Once There Was a War

Directed by Palle Kjærulff-Schmidt
1966    1h 32m
7
Denmark is occupied by Nazi Germany, but 15-year-old Tim walks around in his own reality: family, love, friends and school fill his head and create excitement, joy and despair. The world-historical drama around him seems like a distant backdrop - but nevertheless plays a role in countless small and large ways in his life.
