Synopsis
On May 18, 1993, the day Denmark votes on whether or not to join the European Union, a number of idiosyncratic individuals accidentally cross paths, in encounters that change their lives forever. Neurotic Jens and taciturn Pernille unwittingly cause a hit-and-run accident involving little Sara, the daughter of a jazz singer Ulla who--also unwittingly--saves Jen's life. Hip businessman Michael, an ardent pro-Unionist, bumps into Ulla outside the voting booth and inadvertently casts a nay-vote. Sundry cops and call girls weave even more into this tapestry of seemingly random intersections and design.
