SYNOPSIS

People across the world are starting to believe that Denmark is fake.

Unfortunately, for fashion designer Bell, her intelligent best friend Norman has fallen for this online conspiracy that states the Scandinavian country is a hoax.

To disprove him, Bell forces Norman to leave London and go on a trip with her to Denmark. 

Bell hopes that if she shows Norman all of Denmark, he’ll have to admit it’s not imaginary.

Unfortunately, she picks surreal locations to visit, which adds to Norman’s scepticism.  Bell starts to have doubts, which reveals that even she has extraordinary beliefs….
