Déjà-vu
Déjà-vu takes place in Copenhagen, where a young man wanders in search
of drugs and the meaning of life. Passive, and sometimes pretty out of
it, he slips in and out of a variety of groupings and locations: art
galleries, laundromats, cafés and parks, plus a bar by the name of
Déjà-vu – an odd place where he meets a pair of degenerate, criminal
twins.
There’s drinking, drugs and crime novels, movies and computer games.
Occasionally a series of mysterious murders is also committed in a
well-known park in Copenhagen, and a blue Ford Fiesta is seen repeatedly
on the streets.
The young man asks himself what form of coherence connects everything,
and whether there’s any coherence at all.
