Per Holst bowed as writer-director for his own production unit with this psychological thriller about a decent man who becomes the innocent victim of a company merger and who cannot face the music of telling about his firing at home. It does not lessen his burdens that he suspects his wife of being unfaithful. He takes refuge in dangerous day-dreaming. Will he eventually cope or cop-out?

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
