“Secrets” is a moving and very turbulent story, which has to face the difficult history of its family. Mads has a loving family and a permanent job at a high school in Copenhagen, where he teaches music. He is also a member of a rock band that he still creates, although he has not performed in front of an audience for several years. In addition to his passion for music, he also inherited an old piano from his father. However, this is not the man’s only hobby.
From time to time, he likes to plunge into the abyss full of stimulants and prostitutes. Over time, his addictions take over him, causing him to neglect his daily duties and indulge in more and more. When Mads’s hidden activities get out of control, he seeks support from his older sister Eva, who has been saving him from all kinds of trouble since childhood. But can he still be saved?
Eva is ready for anything to achieve her goals. However, her brother doesn’t make her life easier and she doesn’t have the heart to refuse him, she lends him money once again and allows him to push the boundaries again.
The series “Secrets” exposes what we often don’t want to talk or think about. The production shows that a falsehood, repeated endlessly, can eventually become true, and how painful it is to realize that it is only part of the picture. The series will take viewers to the imperfect world of adults who remain defenseless in the face of what they try to escape from in every possible way. It is also a series about addictions that are passed from parent to child and the patterns that we unconsciously repeat.
The director is Kaspar Munk (“The Storm Riders”). The main roles were played by: five-time nominee for the Danish Film Award in the best actress category, Iben Hjejle, and award-winning actor and two-time SAG Award nominee for ensemble play, Pilou Asbæk (“Game of Thrones”“Uncharted”, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”, “The Government”).
The first two episodes of the series “Secrets” will appear on November 10 on the Viaplay Filmy i Seriale channel. The trailer is now available!
