Løgnen

Iben and her boyfriend Alex are among the leading figures at the Youth House in Copenhagen; a sanctuary for the city's young people who do not fit in elsewhere. When the Copenhagen Municipality suddenly sells the house to the religious sect, Faderhuset, they and the other young residents come under immense pressure. While Iben tries to draw the attention of politicians and the press, Alex joins a faction of the house that no longer believes in peaceful solutions. "Rebels - Never Surrender" is based on real events leading up to the demolition of the Youth House in 2007, but above all, it is the story of a group of young people who take to the barricades for the right not to conform.

The film is a comedy drama about a young woman, Laura, who has distanced herself from her family in the country to settle in Copenhagen as an author and live the artistic bohemian life she has always dreamed of. When she, with much reluctance, goes back home for her brother’s wedding, she realises that he is about to marry her childhood enemy, Catrine. At the same time, Laura finds out that Catrine has in fact taken over her place in the family – and what if Laura wants it back … A film about how we, no matter how hard we try, cannot escape from our past, nor from our roots.

Better Day

The scene opens in Lady Macbeth's chamber. The room is dark, lit but sparsely by the flicker of candles, their flames casting long shadows upon the walls. Lady Macbeth sits alone, her gaze fierce and fixed, the wine goblet by her side half-drained. The air hangs heavy, thick with a silent, stifled weight.
