Morning traffic is in chaos. A giant pepper mill, made from oil drums, is blocking Frederikssundsvej, one of Copenhagen’s main arteries. Florist Tobias is convinced it must be for him—it is, after all, his 30th birthday today, and in Denmark, a giant pepper mill is a traditional gift for those who reach that age unmarried. But neither his employer nor any of his three closest friends have arranged for a pepper mill in his honour. In fact, they had almost forgotten his birthday altogether. Because friends grow up, start families of their own—and suddenly, you find yourself alone in life.

At first glance, Sibylle and Daniel, portrayed by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Mikkel Arndt, seem to lead an idyllic yet somewhat mundane family life, complete with respectable careers, a stylish apartment and two young children. One night, Daniel's ex-girlfriend Franziska, played by Julie Agnete Vang Christensen, suddenly appears. She becomes the catalyst for an explosion in what turns out to be an already strained relationship between Daniel and Sibylle, whose children have long been hostages in their trench warfare. Daniel chose Sibylle over Franziska, because she was the stable and sensible choice, but perhaps he chose wrongly?

New drama. New generations.

In Manhattan, a generation after the height of the AIDS epidemic, Eric, a sensitive soul, and a talented yet self-destructive writer, Toby, share a turbulent love affair that tears everyone around them apart. While the United States, where Trump wins the presidency, is becoming more and more polarised, the world around them seems to be collapsing.

Their lives are linked to several other fates, which has dire consequences for them all. Some are haunted by the past, while others are hungry for a future.

The Inheritance is the story of three generations of gay men searching for the legacy that binds us together as human beings and lovers. It is a tale of the generation that followed those affected by the AIDS epidemic.
