My Night With You

In the cold, underground public toilets of Rådhuspladsen the boy Mads has sex for money with arbitrary men. At the Burger King above Janus sits drinking his soda, a collection of poetry in his backpack. Mads has his rules and his regular clients, so he tries to get rid of Janus, who is sitting at ‘his’ table. Their relationship starts with an argument, and initially they don’t appear to have anything in common. And yet, on this night of melting snow and eternal darkness in Copenhagen, everything changes.
My Night With You is a story about two young guys at a stage of their lives when many decisions have to be made. But is it not deciding who you really are the hardest choice of all? This is a story rich with insight from author Tomas Lagermand Lundme, accompanied by Fred Tornager’s poetic and evocative touch.
The back-drop may be 1980’s Copenhagen, but the emotions are timeless!
