Paddle to the Sea (1966) Winsome tale of the little boy who dreams everyone else has vanished. Alone in Copenhagen, Palle does everything a small boy longs to do; he drives a streetcar, a fire engine, a stray auto and helps himself to candy and toys. An exciting climax flies him to the moon and parachutes him back to bed.

This short fiction tells the story of Eddie, a young man who "borrows" a motorbike parked in front of a store and takes his girl for a spin—a brash decision with disastrous and alienating consequences. The film, a commentary on a society that often offers youth little purpose or sense of accomplishment, is a play-by-play exploration of the clash between young people's impulsiveness and society's need for law and order.
