Synopsis
On a coach trip to Paris with her sister, Inger reveals her struggles with schizophrenia to the group, receiving both pity and discrimination. On arrival, it soon becomes clear that Inger has a hidden agenda for taking the trip, concerning a figure from her past, which ultimately involves the entire group in her hunt for answers.
A comedy-drama that gives a much more realistic view of the subject matter of neurodivergence, as it is in part based on the director’s experience. It is also brilliantly cast; Sophie Gråbøl is mesmerising and her antagonist on the trip could not be more convincing and unlikeable. It avoids the normal pitfalls of the ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ message and I expected it to be more uncomfortable watching; in the end I was charmed by it.
