The Healing

2021 · 40 min

A warm, quietly absurd documentary about community resistance, where bureaucratic anxiety meets playful spiritual hope.

Natalia Ciepiel, Hannah Elbke

Overview
The almost 1500 Copenhageners who live on Lundtoftegade in the city’s Nørrebro district are in danger of ending up on the government’s so-called ‘hard ghetto list’, despite several years of social housing initiatives. And what do you do when you have tried everything? You call on the spiritual dimension for help! The collective performance project ‘The Healing’ must expel the evil forces before it’s too late and before 60% of the residents risk being forcibly relocated. With contributions from young and old – and with a deeply dedicated chairman of the residents’ association as their anchor – the community gets creative. But will the healing succeed?
