Overview

After weeks of traveling through Europe, the immature William finds himself in Copenhagen, the place of his father’s birth. He befriends the youthful Effy, who works in William’s hotel as part of an internship program, and they set off to find William’s last living relative. Effy’s mix of youthful exuberance and wisdom challenges William unlike any woman ever has. As the attraction builds, he must come to grips with destabilizing elements of his family’s sordid past.

[Raso's] absorbing film has a delicate nuance that will linger after the popcorn's gone.

David DeWitt, New York Times
Fresh

A well-crafted, deliberately uncomfortable first feature from Canadian-born writer-director Mark Raso.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh

Raso and his actors sensitively handle a topic that could be toxic in the wrong hands; they're all worth watching now and in the future.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh

A flighty Peter Pan meets his grounded Wendy in Copenhagen, Mark Raso's tender romance about the sliding scale of maturity.

Serena Donadoni, Village Voice

[Director Raso] gets a pitch-perfect performance from Danish up-and-comer Hansen, who greatly impresses with her unaffected spontaneity.
