Video 18.30 min.

A "silent movie", video, where my family are actors. The story is from Grimm's fairy tale it is a family drama with therapeutic levels and undertones. The background music is a potpourri of Danish folk music. The main character "Michael" is a boy, who questions a lot and seeks a new content in life. He must go out in the wide world to get his answers and experience. His twin brother "Henrick" represents all the fears and challenge he meets with on "this journey", like death, ghosts and other mysterious matters. Father, represents all the paternal characters, like the father, the host and the king. Mother, plays all the maternal personas, like the queen, the wife of the sexton and host. Sister, is the one who tells the tale and finally gives the seeking lad an answer to his questions in life.
