Police, Adjective (Politist, adjectiv)
Tasked with pursuing a schoolboy suspected of supplying marijuana, a young policeman becomes troubled by the clash between duty and instinct. The struggle he undertakes with his conscience and his superiors provides an intriguing, philosophical allegory; but most delightfully, it's played with warmth and humour, and an extraordinary investment in the detail of its characters' lives.
