Tired of life on the streets, one boy turns himself over to the police in hopes he will be sent to reform school in a last desperate attempt to survive. This feature from acclaimed Swedish director Arne Sucksdorff appeared at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival.

That was an excellent one.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
