2000s: Because there are some secrets that we can only share with the dead.
Often I Am Happy
What you need to know before your trail
When Ellinor addresses her best friend Anna, she does not expect a reply. Anna has been dead for forty years, killed in the same skiing accident that claimed Henning: Ellinor’s first husband and Anna’s lover.
Ellinor tells her that Georg has died – Georg who was once Anna’s, yet Ellinor went on to care for him and his two sons.
Returning to the area of Copenhagen where she grew up, away from the adopted comfort of the home she shared with Georg, Ellinor finds herself addressing her own history: her marriage to Henning, and their friendship with the newly-wed Anna and Georg…
Because there are some secrets that we can only share with the dead.

Art Museum
On Sunday’s I went to the National Museum of Art,mostly because I don’t know what to do with myself” I had never looked at paintings but the painters became my friends, especially the ones who painted something I knew, even it was half a century ago”
Frederiskberg Castle
Our expeditions would take us as far as the park about Frederiskberg Castle or the harbor’s southern end where we played amongst the heaps of coal
