2016 | Kollektivet | The Commune

Erik and Anna are an professional couple with a dream. Along with their daughter Freja, they set up a commune in Erik’s huge villa in the upmarket district of Copenhagen. With the family in the center of the story, we are invited into the dream of a real commune; we participate in the house meetings, dinners and parties. It is friendship, love and togetherness under one roof until an earthshattering love affair puts the community and the commune to its greatest test.
