  • Velsignet vaere dette sted, 29'

    Velsignet vaere dette sted / Blessed by this place
    Production: Denmark 2013

    A multilayered film about seeking identity, and belonging to a place. At the same time it is a portrait of mankind, metaphysical and full of humour, focusing on the areas where we find the meaning of life, areas that make life understandable and meaningful. Weightlifting, work (even in a hilarious costume), a place to put flowers, space to smoke a cigarette and to gossip, a heavenly choir in the funeral chapel. Each of those actions and each of these places can be what they should be under the consistently changing sky.
