12-year-old Martin finds the going tough. Manhood is approaching, but so far mostly as aches and pain. His mother's men friends are definitely nothing like the father he does not have. So some kind of male bonding is inevitable when he meets Funder, a juvenile droput on the run from the police. There is also girl-friend Rikke to consider. Who needs Martin the most? Coming of age isn't so easy.

The Hideaway Audience Reviews

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
thinker1691 This film 'The Hide-A-Way' is one of those special foreign stories which arrives with little or no fan fare and quickly becomes a cult classic. It is a simple tale of a lonely young boy who is befriended by a juvenile offender on the run. Kasper Andersen stars as Møv and Allan Winther as Funder. Theirs is a universal setting of youths growing up with little or no supervision. Each seeks understanding with the problems of life. The younger boy needs a role model, even if he is a criminal. The older boy needs a place to hide while he recalls how a simple argument with a merchant turn into an accidental, yet tragic assault. Together they fill the little niche of their loneliness with warmth and companionship. Their friendship is spontaneous and provides the foundation for a lasting relationship. Excellent movie and one which has already been accepted as a foreign classic. ****
screenwriter_rick This film is less than an hour in length. Yet as I watched the movie for the first time, I was amazed at how involved I became with the two major characters in this film.The boy (about 11 years old), and man (a criminal), both portray their characters in a believable manner. One of the mystical wonders in the world of film, is that it can somehow lure the viewer into almost "rooting" for the villain - - - which goes against everything that we would normally believe as "right".In essence, this is a film about a boy's world... a youth who has a void in his life when it comes to adult-male guidance.... and he is willing to reach out anyone. When that adult person is also in need, such a bond becomes inevitable.A word of warning to those easily offended by nudity... there is a scene in the latter part of this film with frontal nudity of the man and boy after a shower.For a film that is less than an hour in length, the story is captivating, realistic, and one not soon forgotten.
ddbsamuel AKA "The Hideaway" (subtitled in English). Very well made motion picture. Great acting and cinematography. Interesting story of a kid helping out a wounded fugitive. You'll be cheering them on by the end of the movie! The Danish have a wonderful style in making motion pictures. Subtitles didn't detract from the movie. Everyone will enjoy it!
