Beginnings

Ane and Thomas are in the middle of a divorce. Just then Ane has a stroke. The two decide to stay together until she is back on her feet. While she struggles to return to life, a closeness neither expected appears between them. The film does not build this as a story of second chances; it tells of two people seeing each other again inside a togetherness they did not choose. The line between caring for someone and loving them lies under the account. How slow recovery is, and what that slowness does to a relationship, is the real subject. Trine Dyrholm and David Dencik appear in Jeanette Nordahl’s ninety six minute film, a joint Belgian, Danish, French, Icelandic and Swedish production, completed in 2025.
