A finales del siglo XIX, dos emigrantes suecos, Lasse Karlsson y su hijo Pelle, llegan a la isla danesa de Bornholm con la esperanza de encontrar trabajo en una granja y ahorrar suficiente dinero para viajar a los Estados Unidos de América.
Denmark, 1961. Bjørn, a middle-class boy in his early teens, wants to be accepted by Steen, a bullying peer of his with wealthy but freezingly cold parents. Bjørn's other good friend is Mulle, a cheerful and more childish working-class boy. All three seem friends at first, but gradually Steen starts pushing Mulle away while pulling the impressionable Bjørn with him towards more and more violence.
