A LIFE
28-year-old Liv and 30-year-old Marcus are deeply in love, but their future hinges on a single moment at immigration control. Marcus, an American, is arriving in Denmark to start a new life with Liv, but when his plane lands, trouble arises at passport control. Suddenly, he’s forced to fight a system that sees not love - but only papers and regulations.
As he is detained, Liv’s joyful anticipation turns into confusion and distress. Though they’re under the same roof, the distance between them feels infinite. Amid the chaos, Liv carries a heartbreaking secret - she’s pregnant. It’s news she had hoped to share with Marcus at the perfect moment, but now it hangs in the air, caught between hope and fear for their future.
A LIFE is a poignant love story set in the liminal space of an airport, where emotions collide with bureaucracy, and two people must prove that love can overcome even the most rigid systems. The film explores the meaning of borders - not just physical ones, but also those that test the dreams of people longing for a shared future.
