Spoilers ahead
In a darkly comic Danish coming-of-age tale, Anders Matthesen voices Terkel, a sixth-grade student at a secondary school who spends recess on a bench with his best friend Jason, a boy who always carries an iron pipe with him. During a casual moment, a man in a green sweater named Gunnar approaches and tells Terkel that he sat on a spider. Terkel shrugs it off, reassured that his jeans can be washed, but Gunnar’s presence lingers. Later, in Danish class, Gunnar walks in and announces that the previous teacher, Yvonne, has been killed by a car. The class reacts with a mix of shock and uneasy cheer as Gunnar takes on the role of the new substitute teacher, subtly shifting the classroom’s rhythm and tone.
