Join us for our Danish Film Night on Friday, April 18 at 7PM in Portland, Oregon.  The film being shown is Springet/The Leap.  A Danish drama; Rated R. English Subtitles. Popcorn & refreshments are served.  $5 per person suggested donation.

Film Summary: Tobias Jacobsen is 42. When the doctors tell him he is fatally ill, the earth opens up beneath him and he finds himself plunging into the abyss. It makes him think of the time he was 13 and his girlfriend got him to jump off the balcony of her father’s house with a sun umbrella for a parachute. Two stories separated by 29 years are told in parallel, but gradually intertwine into one drama. Both stories have moments of joy and tragedy, as fates wondrously separate and are brought back together again. It is a story about making a leap of faith, trusting in yourself and realizing that, ultimately, life is no good without humour, even of the darker variety.
