The parents of two six-year-old children are asked by the school management for a clarification meeting. One of the boys is accused of abusing the other. In the face of underlying jealousy, desire and the adults' own misconduct, the search for the truth soon fades into the background ... The film takes a critical look at the hypocrisies of the bourgeois world.

Shortly before the school vacations, an incident occurs between six-year-old Armand and Jon, who is the same age. What happened remains unclear. However, the incident seems so serious to the school management that the parents of the two are summoned. But the conversation with single mother Elisabeth and Jon's parents quickly escalates. In the search for the truth, everyone involved gets caught up in a maelstrom of vanity, jealousy and desire ... Director Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel takes a razor-sharp and satirical look at a parents' evening disguised as a peaceful exchange to find the truth. He mercilessly exposes the Scandinavian values supposedly practiced at school as a construct of false loyalty and malice. Golden Camera Cannes 2024, European Film Award 2024.
