What to expect
August Blom’s Danish drama follows Gunnar Saxild, whose father puts him to work after discovering how he spends his evenings. At the firm Gunnar meets Tove. The Danish Film Institute’s synopsis frames the story around his return to trouble and her response when his family turns him away.
