Road to Paradise poster
NR

Johan wants to see what it takes to become a myth. So he follows in the footsteps of Eik Skaløe, the lead singer of Steppeulvene, who committed suicide in India in 1968. And he would like to do so all the way. Luxury-loving Mikkel is not so wild about Johan's wild life experiments, but nonetheless joins him on the trip, which takes the two Danes across a magical, wild and unpredictable India. A crazy trip, reserved for those who are out of their minds.

A beautiful country. It has mountains. It has forests. It has rivers. Only, there is no water. Edward and his wife owns a small, simple house with a garden. As everything else around here, the garden is no longer a garden, but a barren field with just a few tops of dry maize. The drought is a silent disaster, moving through the entire country – like a ghost.

EWA, Out of Body poster
NR

If a memory feels as vivid as life, if you can feel every little detail, cracking in the wood, shadows in the room, movement of the hands, even the ferocious taste of the forbidden, as if you were there, as if you were 13 years old, as if it was right now - is it still a memory? Or pure imagination?
