Translated by Kari Dickson
In Wait, Blink we meet Sigrid, a rather timid young literature student, and witness her soul-consuming encounter with the author Kare, the movie director Linnea (who is going location hunting in Copenhagen), the performance artist Trine, and, last but not least, Viggo, also a literature student, who longs to belong to someone or something. Elida, a fisherman’s daughter, Robert, a film producer, and Goran, a literature professor, also play their roles in this group of shivering and at times desperate characters.
