Fighting Demons
Simon Anker / Denmark / 2024 / World Premiere / 82 min
A young man struggles to break free from the demons of his past that still haunt him years after the sexual abuse he survived as a child.
25-year-old Mikkel is trying to find his way in life after years of childhood sexual abuse have cast a heavy darkness over him. Suffering from PTSD and low self-esteem, he struggles every day to keep himself together. Through an unusual friendship and a film project, Mikkel works his way out of the darkness and finds the strength to overcome his inner demons. He comes to understand that there is no way to overestimate the importance of being listened to, being seen for who you are, and being able to look yourself in the mirror and know that you are good enough.
