Private Project

The Panda Complex

Doing a lockdown, the famous award-winning Danish-Iranian actor (and playboy) Ali Sivandi is forced to spend time with the boring suicidal “nobody” Sofia.

An absurd terrorist attack, threatens not only the world, but also the cradle of “Danishness” Hans Christian Andersen. Ali and Sofia got nothing in common – or so they think. None of them are understood by society and they are both forced into cultural boxes. As an Arab, Ali can’t get a role as the hero, and Sofia is not a success. Slowly the two strangers become friends.
