Nattens smil

Lulu Roos, Denmark, 2020

30 min.DK/DocumentaryYouth films

Lifelong friends Selma and Josefine live together in an apartment in Nørrebro, a bohemian part of Copenhagen. We follow them around town as they go about their daily lives. Selma plays classical harp and struggles to return to normal life after having been admitted to a psychiatric ward. Josefine has an all-consuming dream of making her breakthrough as an actress, but at the same time she suffers from bouts of hopelessness and despair. The film insists that we are all in a constant process of change and that perfection is but an illusion.
