Jakob & Anxiety
Jakob & Angsten
Synopsis
Jacob, aged 22, navigates his way through everyday situations, constantly accompanied by Anxiety, an intrusive and manipulative presence that only he can see. When Jacob is reunited with Mille, a girl from his past, he is forced to confront the voice that has controlled his life. In a surreal inner journey where fantasy and reality merge, Jacob learns that anxiety cannot be eradicated—but it can be faced, named and lived with. The film blends realism, humour and visual metaphor to explore vulnerability, mental health and the courage it takes to let someone see who you really are.
