Søren and Malene met and fell in love by playing and improvising music together. They had a child, but shortly after a tumor was discovered in Sørens brain. It was removed and treated with radiation. A week later it was confirmed that Malene had leukemia. The couples everyday life has been strongly influenced by endless treatments and they haven`t been playing music together for a long time. This experimental documentary creates three rooms in which the participants can play and once again find their common tone.

Theis Mølstrøm Christensen graduated from The National Film School of Denmark in 2013 as Director of experimental documentary. This director uses large and preferably dramatic settings with great emotions, and yet still strives to attain intimacy, tenderness and honesty. Life is precious and can be lost. Love is the characters’ driving force. He explores and portrays the depths of human intensity. Listening to the protagonists` truth and to their struggle, their love and their deep desire to be found. He makes the cinematic atmosphere play an active role in redeeming the participants on their journey. The audience are drawn insistently into the intense movements between close relationships. And are left thoughtful and touched, in an intrusive reminder that beauty is found within all if we only dare to look for it. Theis Mølstrøm Christensen is currently creating the feature documentary "Dream Warriors" about soldiers returning from Afghanistan suffering from PTSD, who relives their traumas in fictional settings.
