“Cone Unit”
Frederik Tøt Godsk / Denmark / 2025 / 11 min
A brief experimental journey through the night on the outskirts of Copenhagen in the company of a group of young, carefree dreamers full of loss and compassion.
A group of young friends stand in a circle at a seemingly deserted train station late one evening on the outskirts of Copenhagen. They are sharing a joint, passing it from hand to hand and mouth to mouth. They cough, they laugh, they try to say ‘raspberry’ to inhale correctly, and they become more and more dizzy. But suddenly they break up and let themselves be swept out into the night that has only just begun.
A statue watches them. A concert reaches its intense climax. The lead singer collapses. An unknown person searches for something by the train tracks. Footage in artificial light that dissolves the boundaries between day and night. Something is lost, someone is no longer here. A short, experimental trip to the outskirts of the capital. A fleeting, eerie, and dreamlike journey through a night full of both care and loss – with references to the French philosopher Roland Barthes and the first wedding night.
