Paw is the name of the main character who is played by Jimmy Sterman. The film is some times entitles, "Boy of Two Worlds" from the name of the book by Loma Elgin on which it is based. (The book is set in Kenya.) Paw grows up in is the West Indies. After he is orphaned, he is sent to live with his aunt in Denmark. He loves the outdoors. He encounters bullies and is misunderstood in the rural community that he finds himself. He gets involved with the local poacher, he tgen goes into hiding. The fil is fundamentally a morality play appealing to innocence, tolerance and reconciliation. The film is shot rather like a documentary. One of the issues addressed is hunting. There are cuts to nature scenes. The film is in English, but I am unsure how to classify the nationality of the film. The director is Astrid Henning-Jensen who I assume is Danish.
