Pretty Boy

Smukke Dreng
Denmark, 1993. 83 mins. Picture This!

His single mother has been seeing some men whose presence in the house makes it impossible for thirteen-year old Nick (Christian Tapdrup) to remain. He finds shelter with a man named Ralph (Stig Hoffmeyer), who enjoys him as a sexual boy-toy until his girlfriend comes back from wherever she's been. Nick, living on the streets, does a little hustling to get by until he gets involved with a gang led by a tomboyish girl named Renee (Benedicte W. Madsen). The two even become lovers for a time, but events accelerate and Nick once again confronts his treacherous confidante, Ralph.
