Synopsis:

Filmed on location in the streets of Oslo, Boys from the Streets tackles the international postwar dilemma of juvenile delinquency. Directors Ulf Greber and Arne Skouen have recruited their cast from the ranks of real-life "street kids," all of whom play their roles with gusto and conviction. Not content with merely showing the problem, the filmmakers offer theories about the various causes of delinquency and attempt to suggest solutions.

The movie takes place on Oslo's east side sometime during the twenties. It depicts the workers' environment by traditional elements like unemployment, strike, poverty, alcoholism, absent fathers, wise and tired mothers, the dream of a better life and the friendship between the boys in the street.
