The Film
The film is a modern, humorous and sexy love story, which takes place during one night, in one apartment with four young Copenhageners. The little brother, Adam, invites his closest family for dinner–his beloved girlfriend, his successful big brother and his brother’s beautiful wife. They’re having a good time. But there’s a special reason for the invitation. Adam has prepared a highly untraditional plan for the night—a plan, which will make up for all the humiliation suffered in the past as a little brother… especially for one time.

Laurits Munch-Petersen
Laurits was raised in Copenhagen, where he, from an early age, started drawing comics, posters, painting, etc. At age 15, he lived in Mexico for one year with his parents. This stay inspired him to go back 7 years later to shoot his first professional film "The Circle" in the desert of Oaxaca. From 1992 he served apprenticeship at a graphical copper print workshop in Madrid, and later at Danish sculptor Bjørn Nørgaard's studio for 2 years and planned to become an illustrator/painter. But when his mentor gave him a camera to shoot a documentary about an exhibition in Estonia, Laurits' plans changed. He fell in love with the camera and stopped his apprenticeship, to start shooting his own films. As his girlfriend, for his 20-year birthday, gave him the present that he could film her under any circumstances, he planned to shoot a series of nudity scenes, but it soon developed to a longer story, and ended up being the film "Lisas Dag". After shooting "A Woman in Every Town" on a travel through Europe, starring his friend and the women they met on their trip, and the longer film in Mexico, he went to The European Film College in 1998. In 1999 he was accepted as a student of directing at The National Film School of Denmark. Graduated with the film "Mellem os" in 2003.
