Synopsis:

Scenes from the schoolyard. Lars Ole is in love with Inger, who's going steady with his friend Hanse. When the latter does something stupid, Lars Ole does something mean. Both pay, but in very different ways. Malmros's international breakthrough: his first vision of the world in a drop of water.

In Lars-Ole 5C, we meet 12-year-old Lars-Ole (Søren Rasmussen), an average 5th grader who is in love, likely for the first time, in fourth grader Inger. Inger is, however, in love, and 'going steady', with Hanse, a friend of Lars-Ole's. Distraught from jealousy Lars-Ole tells on Hanse who gets blamed and physically punished for a mischief, and Inger dismisses Lars-Ole as 'mean'. At a school dance the still smitten Lars-Ole steals a dance from Inger during the rheinländer polka. That is really all there is to the story, but Nils Malmros tells it with a painstaking earnestness and an attention to detail that bears witness of an almost photographic memory when it comes to this tumultuous time of a person's life, so that it is impossible not to get sucked into the story, remembering one's own adolescent, and seeing the depiction of this particular adolescent as a monument over human sorrow and frustration.

In the Danish film Lars Ole, 5c the '5c' refers to the boy Lars' school class form. The film consists of many little moments from the school life of a young man, including such occasions as a skirmish among the teens for teacherly favors or for attention from a member of the opposite sex. This independently produced film was highly praised in its native Denmark and was an official entry in the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.
