HOLD SÅ KÆFT LARS! (SHUT UP, LARS!)

Danish original text
In the streamlined and optimised world of today, it is a core value that man is in process, in development or (at least) in recovery. Life must not be difficult without one having a plan for getting better as soon as possible. The perception is that human nature is pre-programmed to endure and to survive – but are there exceptions? Liv, for one, can’t stand it anymore. But it is a bit of a challenge to kill yourself when you’ve just started fucking Lars, who thinks that suicide is a really bad idea.
SHUT UP, LARS! is investigating the very bottom of the depressive mind, portraying Liv’s absurd life situation with darkness, pain, hopelessness and humour!
