During a cold winter night at home in Copenhagen, a private detective deconstructs himself as a character through the arguments of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in order to find meaning in his own existence. That night, during his former fiancée’s wedding, Hamse Leth succumbs to his own scrutiny amidst a mid-life crisis.
