Overview

Alfred is a young man who lives on the edge both financially and morally as a self-taught freelance journalist with a knack for writing about other people’s misfortunes. When he inherits his late father’s dilapidated house in Western Jutland, he meets Frederik—a young man caught between his faith and his sexuality. Through Frederik, Alfred gains access to a deeply religious community, where he soon senses a compelling story about the use of conversion therapy. What begins as a calculated infiltration gradually develops into a relationship he can no longer fully control. The closer he gets to the community and its central figures, the harder it becomes to maintain his distance, and the clearer the consequences become.
