Copenhagen Does Not Exist (København findes ikke)

Sander is locked in an empty flat along with a slightly younger man and a man in his sixties. The latter two are the brother and father of Ida, who disappeared a few months before and who formed a couple with Sander. The father wants to know what happened to his daughter and forces Sander to tell him about their relationship. The pair lived together in the bustling heart of Copenhagen, but increasingly cut themselves off from society. That isolation affection their actions and thinking. By alternating the interrogation, filmed by Ida's brother, with flashbacks, director Martin Skovbjerg subtly stirs up a palpable menace, which enhances the ominous atmosphere. The screenplay is written by Eskil Vogt, director of The Innocents and regular cinematographer of Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World). The father is played by Zlatko Burić, known from the Pusher films and as the Russian oligarch in Triangle of Sadness.

“A young woman has disappeared without a trace. Three months later her boyfriend Sander agrees to an unusual arrangement: to be locked in an apartment and interrogated by the woman’s father. It soon becomes obvious that long before her disappearance, the two lovers had chosen an unconventional life.” - Variety
