Feature film by Signe Raunkjaer Holm (director and writer)
When Agnes bumps into her boss in the park, she spontaneously quits her job. Everything is now called into question: She questions every situation through her behavior and discovers her possible courses of action in a playful way - critical of norms and playful, as if she wants to break out of the script she has been given. She practises sentences on her own and longs for an "outside world". There is failed communication, failed attempts at closeness and a subtly romantic, queer encounter.

David, a disoriented young man, decides to leave the addiction clinic and return to a life of excess. His escape becomes a rebellion against the meaninglessness of existence, against all obstacles and supposed attempts to save him.
After the screening, the directors, authors and image designers present will talk about the process of making their films and introduce their film teams in a discussion with the audience.
