Carsten, a 50-year-old, married high-school teacher, is having an affair with Pil, a much younger woman, who is politically active. Carsten's wife, Nina, wants a divorce. Pil is involved in a political action that results in the death of a policeman. Suddenly, Carsten's neat, structured life is spinning out of control.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
