A Treatise of the Human Animal no.38: HEARTACHE

In A Treatise of the Human Animal no.38: HEARTACHE, viewers encounter a creative exploration of heartbreak through both human and animal perspectives. The film is divided into eight chapters, showcasing patients at a sanatorium as they confront their emotional struggles.

The narrative also features Edgar, a penguin on Antarctica, who embarks on a quest to reunite with his lost love. This juxtaposition of human experiences and the journey of a penguin adds layers to the film's examination of heartache.

Directed by the team at Den Danske Filmskole and DR, the film boasts a cast that includes Nicolai Jørgensen, Olaf Johannessen, and Peter Plaugborg. Its absurd take on human emotions might resonate with collectors interested in unique storytelling and character-driven narratives.
