She is standing there eating a popsicle and each time we see it the camera is very close up implying that it is sexual in thought. The father, after realizing he has been spotted, speeds off down the road. As young boy is then seen holding a stopwatch timing himself while he holds his breath. The older brother then walks into the house and sits down at the dining room table. The father, after finding out that his sons hair is wet, assumes that the boy has been swimming.

The scene changes and they are now down by the lake. One of the boys wraps a towel around his waist and looks over and spots Ase without anything on. He quickly ducks when he notices she is looking in his direction. She too proceeds to put her suit back on when she realizes they can be seen. The boy then proceeds to take his bottoms off and in an effort to retrieve them without being seen by the girls accidentally loses his balance and falls over the edge of the cliff. The girls run over to see if he is okay. Ase now has her bikini back on. Ase then lifts up her top and says lets swim naked but Kari declines saying that it isnt right.

- DirectorLisa GosselsDean WetherellStarsNorbert BikalesWolfie BlumenreichRene CastilleIn the spirit of Louis Malle's "Au Revoir les Enfants" and Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List," the Emmy® Award-winning film "The Children of Chabannes" (93 minutes), has been praised as "splendid, informative and emotionally involving" (Los Angeles Times) and called "a seamless memoir of courage and a tribute to the human spirit." (New York Daily News). A magical World War II tale of resilience and love, "The Children of Chabannes" reveals the previously untold story of how the people in a tiny village in unoccupied France chose action over indifference to save the lives of 400 Jewish refugee children. Returning to the forgotten corner of France with her father and uncle (two of the saved children), filmmaker Lisa Gossels and co-director Dean Wetherell movingly recreated the joys and fears of daily life in Chabannes during the war. Through warm and wonderful accounts from the educators, townspeople and from the children themselves, we see how this oasis of hope is shattered in August of 1942, when the war reaches the doorsteps of the crumbling chateau where the children lived. A celebration of human kindness, "The Children of Chabannes" delivers a profound message of tolerance. The film documents the remarkable efforts made by the citizens of Chabannes, who risked their lives and livelihoods to protect these children, simply because they felt it was the right thing to do.

Inside the harsh confines of the supposedly beneficial institution, Polin and his fellow inmates must deal with constant physical and psychological abuse by the staff, as well as the natural emotional tensions brought on by their own burgeoning adolescence. But through it all, they manage to keep their hopes alive with optimistic talk of freedom and bold plans of escape. One day, when the opportunity finally arises, and Polin learns that freedom, too, has its price.
