Copenhagen is a city of paradox: how the future displaces the past.
A documentary reflection on what it really means to be the best city to live in. The film explores Copenhagen, which has transformed from an industrial center into an advanced laboratory of urban experiments and has become the object of close attention of the architectural community.
Over the past 30 years, the city has undergone a rapid transformation. Gentrification has led to an eightfold increase in real estate prices, and the peak of urbanization has called into question the very idea of a fair city.
The director views Copenhagen as a phenomenon, criticizing capitalist development mechanisms and the actions of developers, asking the question: when does the system begin to destroy itself? Through the prism of the experience of ordinary citizens and the social responsibility of architects, the film raises the question of who is building the city and for whom and why the experience of Copenhagen is so important for modern society.
