It’s a quest that includes friends from the gang, Louise and Peter (Signe Egholm and Henning Valin), dates, a new and younger girlfriend (Rosalinde Mynster), break-ups, meetings with in-laws, nights on the town, frustrating hours working on the perfect screenplay, and an eternal search for a happy life.

The Bottom Line:
This is a very funny relationship comedy as a frustrated screen writer tries to find a true and pure love through his own screenwriting rules; a very clever and quirky film from Nikolaj Arcel, with plenty of laughs and subtle life lessons in equal measure. Based on your feedback, we’ve brought it back to SUBTITLE this year.
