Plot
Zetterstrøm (Ulrich Thomsen) once had a love affair with a woman (Helena Christensen). In favour of his musical career, Zetterstrøm left her and forgot his past. While he is away from Copenhagen, a supernatural incident occurs, making the central part of Copenhagen inaccessible. Over time it becomes impossible to enter the area due to some invisible shield. When Zetterstrøm returns to Copenhagen, he is oblivious to this incident and is guided by a mysterious man (Henning Moritzen) into the zone. Inside the zone, Zetterstrøm must re-experience his unresolved and traumatic love affair.
