SYNOPSIS
A sequence of everyday-scenarios develops in synchronisation across what seems like a regular night in the city. A young, frustrated couple are on their way home from a night out. Three friends are in the middle of birthday celebrations at a nightclub. A drunk young man crawls into bed with his girlfriend. A young woman decided to stay home, chatting with a guy on Facebook. Two parents put their children to bed. All of them hear sirens and loud noises in the background. In the end, a policeman walks into the nightclub; however, nothing could prepare him for the scene that greets him inside.
Alexander Bak Sagmo (1992) is born and raised in Frederikshavn, Denmark, where he began making films at the age of 16. His main focus is giving a language to things we don't want to speak about. His works portraits the dark side of humanity and have a specifik focus on the tensions between male and female. He made his first feature in 2016, Needle Boy, which got nominated for the Danish Academy Awards and won awards on several international film festivals.
