In Postludium Morten Hee Andersen has returned home to look after his father. And the actor is actually more mature and understated in Svend Colding's drama than we are used to seeing him (Herrens veje, Sygeplejeskolen).

Postludium:
The talented director Svend Colding, educated at the alternative film school 18Frames, is back at OFF with a strong cast. Morten Hee Andersen (‘The Ways of the Lord’ and ‘Peace on Land’) plays a young man who has returned home to look after his mentally ill father (Peder Holm Jensen), whom he has not seen in seven years. But the disease makes it difficult for them to resume the relationship. The film is a touching portrait of a young man who is realizing that he should have done more for his father than he is now capable of.
