A SOAP

Not a bar of soap, but rather a soap opera in itself, this Danish film is the story of two women, well a woman and a transsexual man waiting for his operation. Charlotte has left her husband, finding him boring. Veronica (aka Ulrick) lives in the flat downstairs waiting for the authorities' permission for the operation, watching soap operas and doing sexual favours to make money on the side. Veronica's suicide attempt is the first step in the bond between these two, and confusion and anxiety on both their parts blocks them from really taking the relationship to another level. Charlotte wants to be with Veronica (while she is still a man). Veronica is adamant about the operation. Throw in a jealous husband and TLC, and you've got a bit of a soap opera where for once leaves sort of an open ending. The two friends reconcile, but the secret is we're not sure where exactly they'll go from here.
