A personal portrait of Danish film director, journalist and poet Jørgen Leth, of his childhood in the city of Aarhus. He takes us to secret spots, which convey an atmosphere of warm summer evenings, childhood heroes, school, the egg sandwiches, the wet cork belt and a schoolyard romance. It is childhood, schoolmates, playmates, parents and grandparents, uncles and aunts who people this film. A family engaged in the railways, a department store cafeteria and the velodrome. Filmed by Leth's regular photographer Dan Holmberg in the same tableau-like style as in »New Scenes from America« (2002) and their classic »66 Scenes from America« (1981).
