Allegro

Zetterström, a famous pianist, has given his life entirely to music and keeps his distance from people. Years ago he met Andrea and became attached to her, but he could never say what he felt and the relationship ended. Ten years later an invitation brings him back from New York, where he lives, to Copenhagen. While he is preparing for a recital in a museum the past comes up in front of him again, and what he thought he had buried returns stronger than before. Christoffer Boe's film does not build a realistic narrative; it turns memory and forgetting directly into something concrete. Ulrich Thomsen plays Zetterström and Ellen Hillingsø plays Andrea. The subject is what a man gave to his art and what he lost in exchange.
