The Leap

Tobias Jacobsen is 42. When the doctors tell him he is fatally ill, the earth opens beneath him and he finds himself plunging into the abyss. It makes him think of the time he was 13 and his girlfriend got him to jump off the balcony of her father's house using a sun umbrella as a parachute.
Two stories separated by 29 years are told in paralell, but gradually intertwine into one drama. Both stories have moments of joy and tragedy, while fate wondrously separates them and brings them back together again. It is a story about making a leap of faith, trusting in yourself and realizing that, ultimately, life is no good without humour, even of the darker variety.
