From 2007 untill his untimely Death in 2009 Anne R. Wivel followed her Husband the prominent Danish Politician Svend Auken around the World in his efforts to make the World a better place. She filmed him on trips abroad, and major international congresses, in the house during intimate conversations and on the street talking to his constituents. Everywhere he went, he made Himself available to People and was forever prepared to engage in Discussions about his Life Project - discussions in which he repeatedly showed his Great Insight and understanding of life. »Svend« is a frank and touching Story about Svend Auken and his last years, from the recurrence of his Prostate Cancer until his final days. It is also a love story ¿ the story about a couple, Sven and Anne, about their companionship and mutual love. But above all this is a film about courage, about idealism and caring deeply about the State of the Planet, about being a politician with all your Heart ¿ even when your life is at stake
