….BARN..BEWARE OF CHILDREN….
….Barn skildrer de dramatiske etterdønningene av en ulykke på en barneskole i utkanten av Oslo.
Det er friminutt og Lykke, den 13 år gamle datteren til en profilert Arbeiderparti-politiker, skader klassekameraten Jamie, sønnen av en framtredende Frp-politiker. Ryktene om hva som egentlig har skjedd begynner å gå. Var det bare uskyldig lek?
Liv (Henriette Steenstrup), rektor på skolen og hemmelig kjæreste med Jamies far, må finne styrken til å konfrontere et lokalsamfunn i sorg og til å takle sine egne motstridende følelser.
Barn handler om hva barn betyr for samfunnet i dag: Hva det vil si å ha, og å være barn. Og i forlengelsen av det - hva det vil si å være voksen. ..
Lykke (13), the daughter of a prominent Labour Party politician, has accidentally beaten her classmate Jamie, the son of a local right wing-politician, to death. Lykke claims Jamie’s death was an accident, but nobody believes her. The school’s principal, Liv, is an idealist who, against her political beliefs, has been living in a secret relationship with Karl Erik, Jamie’s father. When they can’t keep their relationship a secret anymore, the surroundings react with disbelief. Liv’s brother Anders is Lykke and Jamie’s class teacher. He was supposed to be in the school yard when the accident happened, and is overwhelmed with guilt for not having been able to prevent the accident from happening. Like water surrounding an undertow, we’ll experience how the community relates to the accident and the aftermath. How could it happen –and how is it possible to continue living afterwards?….
