Through laughter and tears we follow the development of an extraordinary relationship between the hospital clown Angus and the 6 years old cancer ill boy Tobias. Through two years this becomes a bond of closeness, humor and play that turns out to be extremely valuable and important for both the kid and the clown in their fight against cancer.

THE SILENT CHAMBER
2009, 30 min.
Can we prepare ourselves for the death of our dear ones?
The Silent Chamber is a visual documentary poem about death. It is set in the Northern culture of Denmark and landscape of Norway. The film is framed by the inevitable death of the director’s grandparents; someone is always left behind alive trying to come to terms with death – but is this ever possible?
The form is inspired by the musical form of variations.
Music, sound and images are closely interwoven as we move through the silent chamber.

THE PORCELAIN DOG
2008, 30 min.
The heart warm story of two apparently diametrically opposite worlds which cross when an elderly wealthy Danish couple, Dan and Rosa, donates a house to an elderly Burundian couple, Mavumbo and Marceline.
To experience or to survive becomes a question in this visual clash of cultures. The housing-project takes along a story about peculiarities of matrimonial love and imaginations about "the other".
