Project Detail

Spring Fever

Synopsis

Sex education. Awkward memories, right? Boys and girls separated, a flustered teacher, the bare biological facts and a dose of shame.
In the Netherlands, they do things differently. Children from the age of four learn to talk about their bodies and sexuality in an open and frank manner.
This documentary observes a diverse group of pre-teens from Amsterdam, having a candid conversation about their changing bodies with an inspiring teacher. This isn’t just a sex ed class, this is an anti-shame class.
