Danish journalist Rikke
Lyngvig is taken hostage in Afghanistan by a terror group that
threatens to kill her if Denmark does not withdraw their troops
from the country. However with help from the young Afghan Nazir,
Rikke successfully flees and saves her life. She returns to a
nation in chaos and is rapidly declared the Danish Jessica Lynch
and from there her career is launched into the spotlight. In the
meantime Nazir flees from Afghanistan and further up through Europe
and ends up in Denmark.
When Rikke meets Nazir she is torn. Is she willing to help the
man that saved her life, even though he held her captive and threatened
to kill her? Is she willing to jeopardize her new-found career
by accommodating an applicant for asylum who is wanted by the
police? Everything is turned upside down for Rikke and Nazir and
their tumultuous encounter turns into an ill-fated confrontation
with their own demons as well as a nation characterized by the
hunger of sensations and a superficial political populism.

The King of Ping Pong / Ping-Pongkingen (2008)
A warm and humorous drama full of depth and originality set in the far north. RILLE (16) is ostracised and bullied; a nobody. Everywhere, that is, except in the ping-pong room. There he rules; he is the King of Ping Pong. His brother Erik (13) is charming, respected and loved by all. Despite the profound difference between them, they share the same blood; at least that is what they both believe. When they learn the truth about their father during their spring break, they become bitter adversaries engaged in a life and death struggle.

Strings is a dramatic tale of adventure, bondage and liberation; of love and war, destiny and vitality, identity and shared humanity. Not everything is what it seems in this land of adventure, where the threads of destiny are woven together by unseen hands, and where there appears to be a hidden connection between heaven and earth.
