Four separate yet interconnected chapters of a contemporary horror adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen.

A couple move to the countryside looking for a new beginning. But a mysterious mirror turns everything inside out. A young care worker agrees to care for a dying man, only to stumble unto secrets that refuse to stay hidden. A musician struggling with writer’s block is haunted by his own muse and a psychologist starts losing her grip on reality following a harrowing accident.

Four separate yet interconnected chapters, each of them a contemporary horror-adaptation of a story by Hans Christian Andersen, tell four stories about fate and acceptance, about love and loss.

Made on a budget of 70.000 euros, “Adorable Humans” is an anthology film made in close collaboration between its four directors, looking to shine a new light on Denmark’s most beloved author and showcase the darker side of Hans Christian Andersen.

Film screening presented by Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Estonia.
