Film Details and Background October 17, 1989 (Sweden). Runtime: Approximately 40 minutes. Production: Produced by the Swedish Film Institute (SFI).
Set during World War II in a peaceful Swedish village, Badhuset (which translates to "The Bathhouse") follows a ten-year-old boy who spends his summer with three girls. The group’s dynamics shift when the boy discovers a young sailor and his girlfriend seeking privacy in a dilapidated, cracked bathing shack.
Badhuset is noted for its stark and unsettling portrayal of youth. Similar to other works by P.C. Jersild, such as Barnens ö (Children's Island), the story focuses on the autonomy and sometimes dark moral landscapes of children. While it remains a specialized title, it is frequently discussed in circles dedicated to classic Swedish cinema and psychological dramas. Badhuset (Short 1989) - IMDb
