A matter of trust gay movie
passionfilm
A small Danish movie featuring 5 stories all concerning issues of trust. The stories are woven in and out of each other but do not interconnect in any way and many leave things up in the wind at the end for you to ponder. Many don’t like that but I was comfortable enough. Just don’t expect to grasp or know everything.
Story 1 is about a middle-aged doctor who is accompanying Afghans on a repatriation flight to Kabul. Some, we guess are criminals, others overstayers for some reason or other. Eva (Trine Dyrholm) has her reservations about her government’s policy as the flight goes on.
Story 2 is about a young pregnant bride Maja (Sofie Juul Blinkenberg) who attends a funeral of one of the steep school friends of her new husband. Quite what the relationship was between hubby and this woman is never made clear but his over reaction makes Maja think about what she has signed up for.
Story 3 is about a man (Jakob Cedergren) who rents a rural Airbnb for a fling with a woman he has met at a conference. The date is a disaster: the woman is not entirely transparent and the elderly lady renting the place keeps interrupting. In story 4 E

On a repatriation flight from Denmark to Afghanistan, a doctor finds her commitment to the Hippocratic oath tested by a violent immigration system. After being cruelly outed to his whole school, a young student seeks comfort in the company of his English teacher. At a funeral, a pregnant newlywed questions her husband’s mysterious past. In an AirBnb owned by a conservative eavesdropper, two married strangers begin an affair. And on a beach day that proves to be much more, the bond between mother and daughter is tested. Each of these five tales delves into differing aspects of care, deception, and love that come together to form a tender and true portrait of trust in modern relationships.
Annette K. Olesen’s spellbinding amorous drama manages to save audiences on the edge of their seats without any thrills or chills. By splicing her stories in between one another, she seamlessly connects the thematic undercurrents of each self-contained story while banter the deeper truths veiled behind smiles and compact gestures.

Tribeca 2022 Review: Annette K. Olesen’s “A Matter of Trust” Hops Around Complex Leaps of Faith
It’s always difficult to tie together story anthology and it’s to the great credit of writer/director Annette K. Olesen that there’s no effort to do so in “A Matter of Trust,” ultimately asking an audience to place their faith in her as she presents a collection of vignettes set across her native Denmark where none of the characters necessarily know one another or will even acquire to, but will certainly feel a kinship due to circumstance when they all require people to go places without knowing the exact destination.
Actually, that’s not entirely true – “A Matter of Trust” opens with a medical consultant named Eva (Trine Dyrholm) tasked with accompanying a family being repatriated back to Afghanistan, though she can’t be sure the plane will tap down with the uncooperative Ahmed (Hamun Maghsodlo) doing his best not to get on the flight and once seated, doing his best not to leave as Danish officials put him in a straitjacket. It’s naturally intriguing when the film cuts to a far alternative milieu, a classroom where the teenage Emil (Emil Aron Dorph) wishes h

The five short stories, written independently by the five Danish authors, with some obstructions in place, intertwine into a fascinating snapshot of the state of confidence in the express of Denmark. The actions all accept place during one day in the near present.
Each storyline stands on its own, but only together do they unfold their stimulating power. The drastically different tone and mood of the various strands saturate the movie with a sense of life where each of us saunters along on a separate journey thro
