- Synopsis
- The year is 1952, and there is a severe
  shortage of nurses in Denmark. At
  Fredenslund Hospital, matron Margrethe
  launches a controversial experiment, in
  which, for the first time, male students are
  accepted into the nurse training program.
  The young soldier Erik persuades
  Margrethe to let him have a place in the
  program, and he settles in at the school
  together with his fellow students. The
  upper- class girl Anna, in particular,
  catches his attention. However, not
  everyone is pleased with this modern
  experiment of training male nurses.
  The chief physician and the head nurse
  are both old-school, and they make life
  miserable for the young students. Erik,
  Anna and the other trainees want to make
  a difference, but they are up against the
  rigid rules of the hospital, prejudices, and
  old conventions. Despite busy schedules
  and rule breaking, emotions flourish
  among the students, who, on their nights
  off, go to the jazz club, or hold discreet
  parties in their dorm rooms.
