Laura has distanced herself from her family in the countryside and has moved to Copenhagen to be a writer and live the bohemian lifestyle. When she is forced to return to her childhood home to participate in her brother’s wedding, she discovers that he is about to marry her worst childhood enemy, Catrine. Laura realizes that Catrine has taken over her place in the family and now she feels a strong need to get it back.
Lisa Jespersen was born in the countryside of Denmark in 1988. Her interest in filmmaking grew as she attended the European Film College and later studied film directing at the National Film School of Denmark. She has made a handful of short films, all with an interest in the comic aspect of people’s existential crises. Her graduation film ‘September’ (2018) received a lot of attention for its precise and very emphatic portrait of a woman in her sixties and the difficulties that come with that age. ‘Persona non grata’ is her feature film debut, produced by Hyæne Film.
