Parents
2016, Danish. Directed by Christian Tafdrup.
Parents tell the story of two parents who attempt to fill the void in their lives after their child moves out. Left with a feeling of needlessness, they try to rekindle the magic sparks from their younger days, returning to their old student apartment where they first fell in love. When one morning they wake up feeling thirty years younger, they are forced to come to terms with the fact that the past they once knew might no longer exist.
