Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
The story is about a hedonistic young man Per (Søren Strømberg), confident and cheeky, always with radical answers on how the world can change for the better. From his boat, he sees a blonde teenage girl Susanne (Sisse Reingaard), who is studying on her parents' private beach. In more ways than one, he demonstrates his superior rejection of anything "private", and begins his courtship. Susanne becomes diffusely interested, and introduces him to the family, a conservative couple, who are going through a middle-age crisis.
The generation gap is clearly demonstrated, when Per later uninvited shows up at their daughter's graduation party, and gives her a book of erotic literature as a gift, to her father's annoyance. In the quarrel that follows, it is hinted that pornography is the new ("religion"). Soon a couple, and when they hang out in his apartment, Per shows her 16mm pornographic films, showing various animal species' mating rituals, and a man copulating a woman from the rear. The message, that man is an animal, does not bother Susanne, hardly anything does, not even when he is challenging their relation, filming himself and her girl friends up close. Hoping the daughter will get tired of her boyfriend, the parents invite him to stay with the family in their villa. The strategy fails and Per increasingly feels "at home" with his film camera, filming "his life". Alone with Susanne's mother Hjørdis, she, like her daughter a little curious at first, is shown pornographic films, even those that show private intimate moments of her daughter Susanne. Shocked, she escapes the film screening, calls her husband and asks him to come home and throw Per out, and lock their daughter in her room.
