Motherhood should be a joy, but Ida is not happy. While struggling to feel a connection with her baby and keep up the facade, dark thoughts start to manifest when she learns that her baby might have been switched at birth. Director Bio:Zinnini Elkington is a Copenhagen-based film director. She has been emphasized by the Danish newspaper Politiken and the film magazines EKKO and Soundvenue as "talent to keep an eye on." In 2017, her pastel-punk teen-comedy 'Rainbow Girls' was shortlisted for a Danish Robert award; in 2018, she premiered the ambitious eco sci-fi 'Gaia' and won the annual pitching competition in Odense International Film Festival with the dark fantasy short 'The Changeling,' which is now in development. Alongside her studies she is directing season two of the youth web-series 'Første Gang' on Youtube. Keywords to describe her work are colorful, genre-bending, anti-authoritarian and youthful. She spent her teenage life as contemporary dancer and choreographer, and has worked for several years as a professional actor in Danish film and television. She has studied scriptwriting, production and directing at UCLA in Los Angeles, as part of her bachelor's degree in rhetoric at the University of Copenhagen.
