Description
Under the direction of Paprika Steen, known for her subtly perceptive eye for human relationships, an intimate, realistic ensemble film unfolds — full of bittersweet humor and raw honesty.
A close-knit group of friends reunites on New Year’s Eve for a night filled with festive traditions and shared memories. But the group hasn’t been complete since Martin died years ago. Tonight, Nomi, who was Martin’s girlfriend at the time, introduces her new boyfriend Finn. Finn doesn’t quite fit in — he keeps asking the wrong questions and unexpectedly forces the group to confront long-suppressed emotions. It becomes a night they will never forget…
