I recently watched the Danish movie "Barndommens gade," and I must say, it was a delightful experience. It is really a nice, quiet picture of life film.

Set in the 1930s working-class neighborhood of Vesterbro in Copenhagen, the film tells the story of 14-year-old Ester, who dreams of becoming a writer but struggles to find her place in the world. As the film is a slice of life, we get to see the daily struggles of Ester and her family, including her brother Carl, mother, and father, who live in a small two-room apartment without modern conveniences.

Ester is a naive and dreamy girl who befriends a new neighbor, Frk. Thomsen, and her life takes unexpected turns when her brother leaves home, and she experiences her first menstruation and a betrayal from her friend Lisa. The film has some light-hearted moments, and the acting is excellent, especially from Sofie Gråbøl, who played Ester. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Sofie Gråbøl in Forbrydelsen, and it was a pleasant surprise to witness her impressive acting skills in this role as a teenage actor. Her performance was truly captivating and brought a great sense of depth to the character she portrayed.

The music is also great, and the film creates a cozy atmosphere. Overall, "Barndommens gade" is a charming movie that portrays the struggles of working-class families in the 1930s Copenhagen. It's always exciting to witness actors taking on different roles and showcasing their versatility, and Sofie Gråbøl did just that with this performance. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good slice of life movie and wants to see a talented actor in action.
