Hold on a minute. Excitement?

To see whether this investment...

So you were driven by excitement?

An adrenaline rush?

My goal was to find money

for the new wing.

I was acting in the best interest

of the school.

Frederik has been scanned and a tumor has

been found in his brain.

Frederik we will administer an

adrenoconical hormone,

that will reduce the swellings

in your brain.

And then some medication

against epilepsy, as well.

So you won't risk having anymore fits.

Okay?

You should go home to Denmark

as soon as possible.

They should be able to operate as soon

as the swellings are down.

Is it cancer?

No. It is almost certainly not cancer.

Good.

The most typical symptom of the strain of

the orbitofrontal area of the brain,

is that your husband may lose all

interest in you and how you are feeling.

Yeah, he could find it harder to restrain

his primitive impulses.

He could erupt in sudden bursts of anger.

Or no...

And definitely he will deny any

suggestion of illness.

But judging from the size of the tumor...

You know all about these symptoms,

don't you?

Bernard Bergmann speaking.

It's Mia Halling from last Thursday.

Okay.

I don't know any other lawyers.

I hope it's okay to call?

Of course.

My husband has been charged

with embezzlement.

The police just took him away.

I don't know what to do.

Fm sorry to hear that.

I don't know what to do.

Do the charges hold up?

Absolutely not.

Or... I don't know anything.

8 don't know what to do.

Has he got a criminal record?

No.

Well, that's good.

Yes, that's good.

Your husband has the right to have a

lawyer present during questioning.

The police should have informed you.

I can go there right away.

Thank you. His name is Frederik Halling.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Time to get up.

Oh no.

Winnie.

How long have you been principal of

Saxtorph Private School?

For about 10 years.

10 years?

Yes.

Did you like the responsibility?

Yes, I liked being there.

Have you noticed a change in your

behavior in recent years?

I can see now...

The amount of my private calls

compared to work calls has gone up.

So there's been a shift in relation

between work and private life.

Anything else you've noticed?

I've spent much more on clothes.

You have?

Yes.

I mean...

So we're looking at a potential

personality change,

and impulse control disorder.

Hi there.

Hi.

Hi. Good to see you.

Hi. Hi.

Frederik, we need to talk

about something.

Yes.

The summer break is over.

I think it's best for you to postpone

coming back to work.

Until we're sure you're well.

What?

If there's the slightest risk that

your condition might cause you

to make the wrong decisions, then

His graduation project, the short film Lille Mænsk (English: Little Man) was shortlisted for Best Foreign Film at the Student Academy Awards. In 2010, Fog accepted a four-year contract as consultant and project director at the Danish Film Institute which prevented him from pursuing personal film projects. It was announced in September 2015 that Fog had written a screenplay based on Christian Jungersen's bestselling novel Du forsvinder (You Disappear) and he would direct the film to be released in February 2017. more…
