Synopsis

Increasingly cool towards his wife Aimee (Maria Bonnevie), yet haunted by jealousy, August (Krister Henriksson) starts to invent the story of her infidelity. Enter Alex (Nikolaj Lie Kaas), a charismatic young photographer who dreams of a romance beyond what he has with his girlfriend Simone (Marie Bonnevie). After a night with Aimee, Alex wakes to find that he has become, in a significant and literal way, a different person.

Christoffer Boe's debut feature is a twisty and entertaining Kieslowski-like urban love story that plays with form and style in ways that will surprise you and keep audiences talking about it for a long time.
