Kasper Nørgaard Thomsen is a writer, and though his readership is quite small, several critics have described his work as exceptional and visionary. For four years, director Ulrik Gutkin has followed Kasper as he worked on his fifth book, Hyperion. During the process, Kasper falls in love, and before long the love of his life becomes pregnant. But being a father, a partner, and a writer is not easy when high aspirations are constantly challenged by an insistent everyday life.
Love and Words has been supported by Statens Kunstfond and DR.
The documentary was broadcast on DRK in 2018.
