Dania is 21 years old and grew up in a Christian community in the Faroe Islands’ Bible belt. She has just moved to Tórshavn and is seeing Trygvi, a hip-hop artist and poet locally known as Silvurdrongur (Silver Kid). He comes from a secular family and writes poems and texts about the shadow sides of humanity. Dania herself sings in a Christian band but is fascinated by Trygvi’s courage to write brutally honest lyrics. As she tries to find her place in the world and understand herself, she starts to write more personal texts. Her writings develop into a collection of critical poems called ‘Skál’ (‘Cheers’), about the double life that she and other youths must live in the conservative Christian world.

The Academy for Untamed Creativity (AFUK) is a production school and an alternative to traditional Danish high schools, where the core values are 'You should dare to be different' and 'You can do so much more than you think'. From the very first day of school and over the course of an entire school year, we follow four young students at AFUK's artiste programme. Four youths, who each in their own way don't feel that they fit into a regular academic high school. We join Mads, Oliver, Zanya and Andy from the first nervous moments to when they stand proud and brave with newly found physical and mental strength in front of a large audience for the school's closing performance Festivitas.

Performance artist Michael Richardt and his mother Malou are ready to go on a road trip around Denmark and Germany to rediscover each other. Cecilie Debell has created a touching, funny, and almost startlingly lively family story, where imagination has the first and last word. A cinematic letter about tolerance in a time that desperately needs it.
