When the lonely teenager Simone starts an online relationship with a sweet and handsome Ghanesian guy called Freeman, she persuades her reluctant parents to let him visit for a few weeks. As Simone’s involvement with Freeman grows, the reluctance of her family increases, and Simone’s rebellion snowballs into an avalanche which threatens to tear the family apart forever.

Sprees of violence, occult rituals, and brainwashing aren’t exactly what we’ve come to expect with Danish rock-legends Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. But in the hands of director Marc Luis Sutton, that’s exactly the story that unfolds in the 23 minutes long suite ‘Amelia’ from the band’s latest album, Alter Echo. The result is an opulent work of art, beautifully shot on 16mm.
