Nils Malmros memory trilogi (also include Lars Ole 5.c and Drenge) culminate with this masterpiece, who is the best danish film ever made. Sad that is not came to UK and USA, because its much better than Bille August also good "Twist and shout" and Zappa. The movie is about a schoolclass in the late 50´s. Nils Ole (Who is Malmros alter-ego) and the popular girl Elin is in front. But the class turns their bag to Elin and she be more and more vulnerable. Francois Truffauts influence on Malmros is clear, but Malmros a real author on his own way. Kundskabens træ is absolutely amazing.
