Holidays in jail
1978, Danish. Directed by Finn Henriksen.
Four young men, Henry, Toft, Tam, and Klausen, take the train to Maribo, ending up at the prison gates. All four are serving sentences for drunk driving. They are a little embarrassed, but each has a good explanation for the "accident." They are "almost innocent" and therefore entitled to make the best of their voluntary "vacation."
