STOR SOM EN SOL

Kasper Kiertzner's eloquent portrayal of the creation of The Minds of 99's third album, 'Solkongen,' is not an ordinary music documentary. The film depicts a band trying to find solid ground amid a period of upheaval. Frontman and perpetual perfectionist Niels Brandt is torn between his own ambitions and simply being Niels at the age of 33. And just as the five friends stand on the brink of fulfilling their shared childhood dream, Niels' creative driving force—the darkness—suddenly disappears. Is Niels compelled to delve back into his dark mind to bring his visions to life?
