Copenhagen Dreams is director Max Kestner’s documentary film portrait of Denmark’s capital as well as a tribute to Johann Johannsson. It is a film about the physical surroundings that shape our everyday lives. About the buildings we wake up in, the front doors we walk out of and the streets we cross.
