Topsy Turvy

Based on Leif Panduro’s hit novel. Music by Sebastian

Inspired by rather than literally transferring Leif Panduro’s 1960 novel to film, Edward Fleming used only part of the novel to tell his own story of Thomas, the high-school son of a petit bourgeois family, who in 1939, oblivious of world events, is busy learning a lot about life’s other aspects from a neighbouring family with a more artistic lifestyle and definitely of more relaxed sexual morals.
