Storyline

Roland, a theater director in his sixties, returns home to Copenhagen in a final attempt to reconcile with his adult son, Jakob. Roland starts rehearsing with a group of actors at a little theater in Copenhagen, while he makes awkward attempts to get closer to his dismissive son. The film tells a painful story about a man, who loses touch with the world around him and fails in his role as a father and as a man.
