A Soap
En Soap
dir. Pernille Fischer Christensen
Denmark / Sweden, 2006 - 104
Ill-tempered Charlotte has just split from her husband and finds herself living above the promiscuous Ulrik, aka Veronica. One day the neighbours meet and find themselves attracted to each other.
An unconventional love story about two neighbours’ offbeat search for love and lust, and their panic when they find both. This is also a serious look at contemporary relationships and gender roles.
