Drama set in Norway in the early 20th century in which a young boy leads a violent uprising against a brutal reform prison regime, with devastating consequences.
Norway, the early 20th century. On the island of Bastoy lies a boys' home with a fearsome reputation. New inmate Erling is not cowed by the home's firm discipline and the brutality of housefather Brathen. He's only interested in one thing: escape. At first his conflict with authority only makes him unpopular with the other boys, but as he begins to gain the upper hand in his struggle they rally to his cause. Soon the boys are openly questioning Bastoy's regime, with devastating consequences.
In Norwegian with English subtitles.
