Denmark’s queen of morning TV has it all - until one man, one van, and one looming cancellation turn her picture-perfect life upside down.
With the backdrop of a dysfunctional morning show facing dwindling ratings, Chaos follows the chaotic life and modern love story of Lise Jensen, Denmark's morning TV star anchor. Lise faces an unexpected crisis in her career and identity and faces the difficult choice between her predictable, picture-perfect life and the wild allure of an adventurous new man. Comfort or chaos awaits as her world is turned upside down.
When Lise learns her morning show may be canceled, she faces a crossroads in her love and work life. Should she continue with her successful career and marriage with her co-anchor Martin and have the children he so desperately wants? Or follow her own footsteps and risk throwing it away for potential true love, adventure, and the uncertainty it entails with the charming Johannes, who lives a simple life in his van on the Danish coast? Lise must decide if the seemingly perfect life she’s cultivated over the past decade is the life she truly wants.
Chaos is a romantic and modern love story, which is about achievement and high expectations, not least of yourself, but also about having the courage to realise that happiness is in reality letting go of control and daring love, even when it comes inconveniently.
