Det røde kapel

A journalist with no scruples, a spastic, and a comedian travel to North Korea with a mission - to challenge the conditions of the smile in one of the world's most notorious regimes. On the pretext of being a small theatre troupe on a cultural exchange visit from Denmark, 'The Red Chapel' was given permission to travel to North Korea with the objective of performing at special events for selected audiences. But in reality the small troupe was compromised of a group who had no such intentions. The Red Chapel chronicles the amusing and often bizarre encounters between this Danish "theatre troupe" and their North Korean hosts in a one of a kind, East-meets-West-meets-East look at cultural exchange in the modern world's last anti-globalist bastion.
