Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn returns with his first feature film in a decade, 'Her Private Hell' a mysterious Copenhagen-shot sci-fi horror melodrama inspired by everything from opera to fairytales. Refn reflects on building an entire futuristic world from scratch in Denmark, his fascination with father-daughter stories, and why he relates to Hans Christian Andersen’s idea that “to travel is to live.” We also meet Norwegian musician-turned-actor Girl in Red, aka Marie Ulven, who makes her acting debut in 'Low Expectations'. She talks candidly about stepping into acting for the first time, playing a struggling musician uncomfortably close to her own life, and discovering the power of silence on screen.
