One day. Two strangers. Copenhagen teaches them how to actually exist.
The film takes place over a day for two young people's lives. There they meet each other and the a number of people in the streets, each in their own way in a quiet humdrum tone tells about the need to be present. The film is simultaneously both a tribute to the city of Copenhagen and life in general.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of Danish 'nordic slow cinema' that treats cities as emotional landscapes rather than backdrops.
Kolind reportedly cast actual Copenhagen residents for the street encounters, blurring documentary and fiction.
