In his debut as a documentary filmmaker, Morten Meldgaard tells the story of freedom fighter Kim Malthe-Bruun. Through excerpts from Kim's letters and diaries, the memories of those he left behind, and selected contemporary film footage from the places Kim describes, the film depicts a series of precisely sensed moments in the journey of an unusual young man through life toward an all too early death. The film is a human story about love, joie de vivre, heroism, powerlessness, and grief, and it provides insight into how a country's history affects the fate of individual families and individuals.
