BOYS
Boys was released locally in August 2022 to splendid reviews, calling it a “new generation classic” and “Dar Salim’s best role to date”. The young adult series is created and directed by award-winning director Jonas Risvig. Based on Risvig’s own experiences of growing up in a small Danish town, BOYS explores themes of friendship, transgression and what it means to be caught between opposing worlds.
Every Sunday morning, 10 young men in Silkeborg gather to sing in a church choir. Over the years, the group have formed a close bond, and after the bells fall silent, they meet to push their limits and test the forbidden pleasures of adult life. But when one of the boys drowns under mysterious circumstances, their unity and loyalty are put to the ultimate test.
