Benny's Gym

Alfred is 11 and constantly gets dunked in the pond on the way to school. Alfred is the math teachers son, and the bullies, led by Benny and Peter, use the dunking to intimidate him into getting them better math grades. Alfred doesn't want to tell his father about the bullying, because his father is hysterical and would send Alfred to a special school. Alfred is good at drawing. One of the bullies, Benny, becomes interested in Alfreds drawing skills. Because Benny has a father called Benny, the owner of Bennys Gym, who has over 100 tattoos. Benny admires his father and hustles Alfred to secretly give him a tattoo on his right arm. This is the beginning of an friendship between Alfred and Benny that initially is involuntary, but eventually becomes quite warm. Together they steal a moped, rob a newsstand, sneak into a disco, and do all those dangerous things Alfred has never done before. Thanks to Bennys hustling skills Alfred ends up, to his horror and delight, between SuperVildes gigantic boobs. The friendship between the two boys has to be kept a secret so Benny wont lose face in front of Peter and the others. But the tables slowly turn and Benny reveals a secret. The game changes, and through a drowning accident at the end, they both gain new insight. (Norsk Filminstitutt)
