Markus does not feel safe in the prison yard. The others are rough and tough gangsters with a potential for violence, while he is just a jet-set reveler of a businessman with financial capital that took but a few shortcuts in the business world. It doesn’t take long before he is forced to move to the closed unit, where rapists and pedophiles are located. And above all, they sing. The prison choir is the internees’ most important activity, and Makus immediately wants to seize the conductor’s baton. With perfect pitch, Frederikke Aspöck narrates about power games, forgiveness and Rasmus Seebach songs in a star-packed comedy with pensive root chords. (Göteborg Film Festival)
