Plot
After weeks of traveling through Europe the immature William finds himself at crossroads in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is not just another European city for William; it is also the city of his father’s birth. When the youthful Effy, working in William’s hotel as part of the internship program, befriends the older William they set off on an adventure to uncover his family’s sordid past. Effy’s mix of youthful exuberance and wisdom challenges William unlike any woman ever has. As the attraction builds and William truly connects with someone for the first time in his life, he must deal with the startling news that the love of his life and the only person who understands him is, unfortunately for everyone, half his age.
In order for William to accept his past, the mature beyond her years Effy must learn to be a kid again, and William, a man whose growth was stunted by his father’s abandonment as a child, must learn to finally grow up.
