Forbudt for børn is Danish short film trilogy about two siblings Ida and Scrubsak. The parts names are Buldermanden 1996, Lykkefanten 1997, and Ogginoggen 1997. Also, there is the documentary film "Behind the scene" about creating a trilogy.
Little girl Ida (Stephania Potalivo) is only 11 years old, but she must behave like an adult. It is hard. You have to practice a lot. Her mother and father are divorced. The mother drinks too much and Ida must, therefore, take care of her 5-year-old little brother Skrubsak ((Maurice Blinkenberg who also acts in “Theis and Nico”) and she must keep the municipality and the threatening orphanage from the door. At the same time, she has to look after her school and her mother's cleaning job in the evening. She tries to keep it hidden from everyone else, and when the little brother tells Grandma what is happening in the little home, Ida throws herself into the harbor. While the body is on its way to the bottom, the soul is on its way to heaven, but here God is trying to talk her from death by saying that one must know the happiness on earth to appreciate the happiness in Paradise. Ida must return to life on earth and try to create a better life for herself.
All three movies are pretty original and meaningful to young and old. The director has an enormous spirit to work with so different genres and moods all in the same trilogy. Superb!
