Excerpt

‘Onkel Henrik’ is an intimate portrait of a middle-aged man who lives his life on the edge of society and himself. Based on their relationship, his niece spends an evening interviewing him in his new business apartment. The work depicts an uncle’s many life stories about the establishment of a brothel with sex dolls, a tragic childhood, family dynamics, relations, doing time in jail, mental disorders, failures of the Danish psychiatric system, his time as a multimillionaire and much more. This work is the first film in a series that is going to portray each of  Buxbom's mother and three siblings.
