Erik Lund is a professor in child psychology renowned for his theories on child upbringing.

Comments:
"Totally cool film. I really believe that everybody can see it - at least everybody between 7 and 100 years". And: "The actors are really good. It is very impressing, that 'Blob' and 'Pusle' can play that good. And then I think the actors suits the parts very well". (Children's Jury at Buster-Festival Copenhagen 2001)
