Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Karl Jonathan and his father leave the city for the father's childhood home but soon realize that the entire village of "Skjelleruten" has been transformed into a safe society, where children are protected from behaving like children. Karl Jonathan and his new friend, Sisseline, start an uprising against the model village with the aid of a closed-down pirate radio, but the model citizens refuse to give in without a fight!

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
