Plot

A teachers' world is turned upside down when her husband, a successful headmaster, is caught embezzling from their own school. Did he do this of his own free will - or has his personality been altered by the tumor lurking in his brain? As the teacher is assisting an attorney in providing a legal defense, recent neuroscience forces her to rethink who her husband really is.

Mia is married to successful headmaster Frederik, who is caught embezzling from his own school. But did he do this of his own free will - or has his personality been altered by the tumour lurking in his brain? Mia is desperate to uncover what kind of man she is actually married to. If the happiest three years of Mia's life with Frederik were while he had a tumour in his brain, who was she married to before? 'YOU DISAPPEAR' is a movie about the challenges we face as neuroscience forces us to rethink what we are as human beings.—Zentropa

A teacher's life is turned upside-down as her husband, a successful headmaster, is caught embezzling from his own school. Did he do this of his own free will--or has his personality been altered by the tumor lurking in his brain? As the teacher is assisting an attorney in providing a legal defense, she is forced by her neuroscience studies to rethink who her husband really is.—Director

'You Disappear' begins as a courtroom drama about mental health, focusing on free will and responsibility, but it ends as a very different kind of drama, posing compelling questions about perspective, identity, and even narrative. The film is a precise, risky, and consistently-rewarding balancing act, forcing us to consider our own prejudices and assumptions, and how they drive what we can see and what we cannot.—Steve Gravestock

In Denmark, Frederik Halling is driving on a winding road with his wife Mia Halling and their teenage son Nicklas. Out of the blue, Frederik speeds up his car and has a minor accident. When he stops the car on the shoulder, he falls off a cliff and needs to go to the hospital, where the doctor finds a brain tumor. He is submitted to a surgery and has the tumor removed. Frederik is the headmaster of the Saxtorph school where Mia teaches. Soon the owner of the school, Laust Saxtorph, and the board learn that Frederik has embezzled a large amount from the school that will close the school. They go to the court to prosecute Frederik, and Mia hires her friend, Bernard Berman, to defend her husband. Bernard uses Frederik's change of behavior while having the brain tumor to justify his action while the prosecutor tries to prove that the brain tumor is not the cause of his embezzlement. The life of the Halling family is exposed in the court.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
