The story

One night.A red suitcase.

Søren and Fixer, two ageing criminals, face the most dangerous night of their lives: deliver a red suitcase to a powerful boss and settle their debt. When Søren questions the deal, loyalty turns into a fight for survival.

The making of Intet Vover

The story behind the film.

We love cinema as an art form and a shared cultural history. Discovering how other filmmakers work has shaped our own approach. Sharing what we learn is part of keeping that culture alive.

Step onto the set of Intet Vover and meet the people behind the images. These chapters follow the choices, experiments and collaboration that brought the film to life. We hope they spark the same curiosity that first drew us to filmmaking.

Director’s note

Why this story?

For me, Intet Vover is about how our choices become part of someone else’s fate. Søren’s doubt threatens his friendship with Fixer, while his daughter Anne is drawn into a conflict she never chose. The red suitcase connects people who each carry their own loss and longing.

I have always been more interested in mythology than realism. I wanted to tell this story through heightened characters whose feelings we can recognise, even when their world is far from our own.

I also think of Intet Vover as a comedy. Its people can be absurd and tragic at once. I want the audience to laugh, feel the danger and still care about what happens to them.
