Boys From The Streets depicts the workers' environment by traditional elements like unemployment, strike, poverty, alcoholism, absent fathers, wise, tired mothers, the dream of a better life and the friendship between the boys in the street. There are no easy paths through life for working class kids in 1920’s Oslo. Crime is fun but dangerous. Honest labor feels better, but you’re exploited by the middle class. And Communism is appealing but also a bit scary. What’s the point of revolution when all you want is a steady job? aka: Street Urchins
