Overview Landskapet og kosmos

It starts with the mountain, where Filip wanders alone. He has been unfaithful but doesn’t regret it. The family was already broken; it shattered one cold autumn evening a year ago when they lost what was most important to them. An all-consuming silence is all that remains. Not unlike the silence on the mountain. Nevertheless, a storm rages in Filip – his mind races, from serious contemplation to minor observations, from the infinity of space to the aquatic skills of the frog, but also back to that first look, that first touch, the medical restraints, the village pub one Saturday evening, the text messages and the lies, the people at home, but also the people who are not at home, who are now a memory, in the bog on the mountain one cold autumn evening a year ago.

The Landscape and the Cosmos is an investigation of our nature, a little life in a wider world, and the significant in what is little. And, not least, of what we tell ourselves to keep going on the mountain in the midst of a storm.
