Recently orphaned, a boy of about ten named Paw from the West Indies is brought to his father's homeland of Denmark so that he might there reside with his aunt. Despite Danish tolerance, the lad learns that prejudice can come in many forms, especially when his remaining relative dies and none of the locals are too keen on having a dark-skinned foster child. Yet, Paw has an affinity with an older poacher, finds a home with the man, that is until the fellow's "career" threatens their relationship. Might the well-to-do landowner who is pressing charges take pity on those less fortunate than himself, keep Paw with his new "dad" and out of reform school? A nicely done piece that can appeal to adults as much as children and which has social commentary still relevant for today's world.

Warning (rated NR): violence; mild adult themes.
