Christian is 12 years old. He and his best friend, Jesper, have been invited over to Janus, an older boy from school. From the moment the boys enter Janus' house, Christian feels as if he is entering a mysterious world. In the cellar, Janus reveals a boa constrictor. He lowers the snake into a maze of comic books and lets loose a rat between the books. Christian and Jesper thumb through a stack of pornographic magazines while waiting for the rat to be eaten. Christian disappears into an erotic novella and doesn't realize what is happening, until the snake strikes the helpless rat. Shocked, he flees upstairs, where another encounter awaits. For Christian everything becomes overwhelming as well as an essential step towards puberty.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
