The School by the Sea Skolen ved havet Greek Premiere Thorvin and Vilde are the only second graders at their small coastal school. Their days are idyllic, and everyone knows each other, plays together, and helps one another – until the school shuts down. There is a rainbow of sadness and excitement, loss and growth as children adapt to change. Screening Schedule No scheduled screenings.
