A photographer named Alex (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) leaves his girlfriend one night to pursue an alluring stranger. Soon Alex and the stranger, Aimee (Maria Bonnevie), begin a turbulent love affair. When Alex attempts to return to his old life, he finds it has literally vanished. His former girlfriend no longer recognizes him, and his apartment doesn't exist. When Alex realizes he is part of a literary fantasy beyond his control, he has no choice but to discard his past life and embrace the future. The film was shot almost entirely in available light. The crew shot Super 16 on an Arri SR3 using three different stocks. Then the film was scanned, color-graded, and digitally masked to CinemaScope. The scan was a simple one-light, and the team did no color correction, the opposite of today's trend to perform a digital intermediate. They also pushed the emulsion for extra grain.
