Synopsis:

A struggling independent filmmaker desperate to salvage his failing marriage becomes dangerously obsessed with documenting his relationship in director Christoffer Boe's harrowing glimpse into one man's dark mental descent. Nicolas Bro (Nicolas Bro) is an actor who uses his handheld camera as a means of making the outside world a more tolerable place. When his best friend Christoffer (director Boe) suggests that Nicolas film every aspect of his life as a means of breaking his stifling inhibitions, Nicolas determines to capture a real life love story on camera as he attempts to win back his wife Lene. Though initially an amusing distraction, Nicolas growing penchant for filming the most intimate aspects of his personal life finds him becoming increasingly distanced from the real-world repercussions of his actions. Now, as Nicolas reverts ever deeper into the stories of his past and eschews the outside world in favor of documenting every minute detail of his life, his loose grip on reality begins to slip with frightening consequences.

Nicolas Bro reigns supreme in the role of Nicolas Bro, a man intent on making a film about himself. His friend Christoffer Boe lends him a camera and tells him to record everything, a remark which Bro takes a little too literally. His constant filming succeeds in driving both his wife Lene and his friends nuts, and when Lene finally calls it a day and moves to Berlin, Nicolas begins his inevitable descent into disintegration. His self-monitoring is so hair-raisingly private that it becomes impossible to separate fact from fiction.

An actor starts to film his everyday life with a hand-held camera in the hope of saving his faltering marriage. But what begins as a pleasant distraction soon becomes an obsession, as the actor becomes increasingly disengaged from personal interactions and more fixated on documenting them.
