6-year-old Villads is an ordinary boy preparing for his next big childhood step – his first day at school. Through common everyday events Villads faces his youthful challenges with vivid imagination and unspoiled logic. But in a world where the rules are set by grown-ups, his childhood perspective often conflicts with his surroundings and brings him into all sorts of trouble.
Villads is based on a series of bestselling children books by danish author Anne Sofie Hammer - sold in more than 100.000 copies.
