synopsis

Jacob (Mads Mikkelsen) and Jørgen (Troels Lyby) are living together as a happy couple and planning on a summer wedding. Everything is as happy as can be! Until… One night when the light has that special glow... Jacob, the spoiled kid, who has always gotten everything he ever wanted, surprisingly falls in love with the couple's mutual friend Caroline. To make matters worse, Caroline is also the girlfriend of Jørgen's brother, the pilot Tom. While denying and suppressing his new and very confusing feelings, Jacob and Caroline are getting more involved in their secret affair. Slowly though Jørgen and their friends are getting more suspicious about the relationship. Caroline and Jacob continue their secret meetings and before long, by a stroke of faith, the fruit of their love is more obvious. Caroline is pregnant. Overwhelmed with confusing happiness, Jacob sets out on a rather peculiar and emotional roller coaster ride, where he must confront himself and his feelings.
