A Look Inside the Ivy and Bean Film Series
The tale of two friends spans three films and gives wonderful representation for young girls everywhere.

One afternoon, Jesper sees a young girl fall overboard from one of the harbor's expensive motorboats. He jumps into the water and rescues her. Her name is Line. It is summer in Rungsted, and the music is blaring at full volume. Line is a young and beautiful girl who has been in a relationship with Victor from Rungsted for five years. Jesper is a healthy, unspoiled guy from Holbæk who comes to Rungsted to look after a beachfront villa. Victor, Line's boyfriend, who was 'born' with a diamond-studded 24-carat gold spoon in his mouth, passes the time with his transgressive 'games' with his friends.

A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
