Did the little girl really...


Did the little girl really tell the lady from that school that Lucas showed her his willie, just because her brother and friends showed her pornographic pictures??

I think that was the main motivation towards her saying those things but i never understood fully, was that the main reason or did i miss something?

I'd love to know.

Yes.

There is a quick incident near the beginning of the movie, where two teenage boys are coming into their home with an Ipad. They are viewing porn photos, one with a man's enlarged and erect penis in the photo. They quickly show it to the young sister, 5-yr-old Klara, and they make a comment about it "pointing up to the sky."

We sense the boys are up to mischief but don't think too much of it until an innocent incident at school and Klara makes up a story of Lucas showing her his penis "pointing up to the sky", clearly mimicking what the boys had said.

Ah, okay, that's what i thought, thanks for the confirmation ;)
When i watched it, it was such a brief moment and almost seems impossible for such disastrous events that followed, so i thought it might have been something else

If I remembered correctly the reasons for her saying that was because she had a crush on the teacher and she kissed him on the mouth while in a class. Then the teacher told her that she shouldn't do that and it must have broken her heart even though he said it in a nice and responsible way.

From what I remembered, it was the adults questioning her who made everything worse and the little lie she told got worse as the adults became more envolved.

She also had memory problems. It's not at all clear that should could distinguish fantasy from reality.

Also, on the day when she gave Lucas the heart and kissed him, she heard her parents fighting. You could tell she was very upset by that.

Yeah, the idea was implemented by his brother who showed explicit material + the fact she was angry against Lucas who rejected her love.

The examination by Grete and his friend was a complete travesty considering they were literally giving her all the answers and she had no choice to agree if she wanted to end it. Same thing with her mom, when Clara said she lied her mom try to convinced her she had simply forgot ...

She was angry with Lucas and wanted to insult him. She copied what her brother said to do it.
