The Guest (2026)
At a luxury seaside hotel, Karl and Emilie are preparing for their son’s naming party, when Karl’s estranged mother, Vibeke, suddenly turns up uninvited. Karl want’s her gone, but his sister, Rikke, insists there won’t be any issues. Over one tense weekend, old patterns and buried wounds surface in front of in-laws and guests — until the celebration fractures into a collision.
