Emil Nørgaard Munk

The director Emil Munk's father is suddenly found dead in his apartment, at a time when Emil and his father are emotionally far apart. Therefore, Emil decides to have one last conversation with his late father. With the help of two actors, loving and painful memories are revisited, as the father and son talk about love, revolution, the father's alcohol addiction and the meaning of it all. Along the way, Emil also has to travel to Palestine, to create a new image of his father. 'Imagining my Father' is a courageous hybrid film, which transcends the frameworks of documentary filmmaking and moves into the possibilities of fiction.
