Munch-Fals’ script follows Adam, who has so far been spoiled by life – a good job, a lovely wife, an expensive villa, an independent son – but still it isn’t good enough. Even the swinger weekend trips he has been taking with his wife have become a joyless routine, and his youthful optimism and appetite for life are distant memories. Then, one day, at another swingers’ club, he does what swingers don’t do – he falls in love.

A small group of men have had enough! Women have gained too much power – they have dominated society for far too long, overtaken men, and left them involuntarily childless. Rasmus has therefore started the secret underground group Man Up. By day, he works in a trade union, and by night, he and his friends are freedom fighters. They are on a mission to restore the natural order from the good old days, when men ruled and women gave birth to their children and cared for them.

The Wake poster
10.0

The Wake is the title of a large-scale multimedia project, the main element of which is an eight-hour long silent movie. The film is based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (London 1939), a limit-transgressing, perhaps even limit-dissolving book that not only transgresses the limits of what literature is and is capable of, but inscribes transgressions on almost all conceivable levels. It is at the same time dream book, history book and necrology. It is almost impossible to determine whether we are dealing with a long poem, a prose narrative or a piece of drama.
