Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is an annual music competition organised by Danish public broadcaster Danmarks Radio, which determines the country's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest. The festival has produced three Eurovision winners and thirteen top-five placings.

A middle-aged woman who lives alone in her childhood home has become such a daydreamer that the line between fantasy and reality has become blurred. Her thoughts revolve around the war years, when her father was a Nazi and she married the wrong man, even though a sympathetic German soldier loved her. When a young man comes to read the electricity meter, she cannot distinguish between past and present, and the clash between dream and reality becomes painful.
