It's March 21, 1945. You’re a young navigator in the Royal Air Force. You’re flying in formation all headed for the same target: the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen. But in the critical minutes leading up to the planned attack, a sudden explosion wreaks havoc and disorients you. Should you drop the bombs? And where should you drop them?

A woman is locked in her home with an egg, which she is both attracted to and scared of. She eats the egg, she repents. She kills it. She lets the egg die of hunger. EGG is a poetic short film based on a small yet significant moment of the director’s own life. It portrays a moment of shame, defeat and yet of victory.

What was it like, before the birth of the universe? Does reality exists just because we are able to perceive it ? A girl tries to answer the big questions.

In an imaginary space, a woman lets go of herself and overcomes fearing her own greatness. She discovers her body, she embraces her emotions and learns to own all the parts that make her HER.
