Synopsis:

In the tradition of director Gabriel Range's Death of a President, Danish filmmaker Morten Hartz Kaplers teams with screenwriter Allan Miltor Jakobson to offer a politically slanted mockumentary detailing the assassination of Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. As interviews with Rasmussen's family, friends, and colleagues delve ever deeper into the right-wing leader's life and career, the details of the arrest and "accidental" murder of his accused killer - a troubled anarchist/musician named Emil (Kaplers) - gradually begin to suggest that not only was the Prime Minister a homosexual, but that he and the gunman were lovers as well.

Using rearranged archive footage and newly filmed material, including interviews with politicians, it's the ultimate reconstruction of a political murder in which the whole truth never emerges and about which a variety of theories circulate. The exploration of the limits of free speech, which was defended last year by the Prime Minister of the country that saw newspaper cartoons grow into an international controversy.
