The Class Trip

Directed by Fanny Ovesen

With Arsim Ramadani, Mia F. Laubacher, Julia Kennholt, Iver Aunbu Sandemose and Magnus Flemmen

The film follows a junior high school class on a field trip to Auschwitz in Poland. While the adults intend for the students to experience the gravity of history and a profound tragedy firsthand, the teenagers largely view the trip as an opportunity to break away from their parents, drink alcohol, and find romantic partners. These expectations are on a direct collision course with reality.
