Silent Nights | comment |
Silent Nights is a 2016 short film (30 minutes) from Denmark, directed by Aske Bang.It's a love story between an idealistic Danish woman and an undocumented Ghanaian immigrant. Kwame is the immigrant, who entered Denmark illegally to earn money for his family, but has failed to do so, and has been reduced to sleeping in the streets. That's how he first meets Inger, the Danish woman who volunteers at a Salvation Army shelter.Inger befriends Kwame after coming to his rescue when three men were beating him up in the park for no particular reason. She gets him a job helping out at the shelter, and soon, they are lovers; he does not mention his wife and three children back in Ghana. Further complications ensue, like one of Kwame's children falling seriously ill, and the presence of Inger's racist drunk of a mother. | |

Silent Nights / int_60426489 | comment |
Citizenship Marriage: The generous-to-a-fault Inger offers this to keep Kwame in Denmark. Even though she's clearly head over heels for him, she even offers it no strings attached, saying "You don't have to love me. I just want to do it for you." | |

Silent Nights / int_8387bb18 | comment |
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Does Inger abort the baby from the man who knocked her up and then left Denmark, never to see her again? Nope! At the end she's going to an obstetrician and getting an ultrasound. | |

Racist Grandma | |
Silent Nights / int_d85c505 | comment |
Racist Grandma: Inger's mom. When told that Inger is working at the Salvation Army she says "Isn't that where all those n***s are?" When presented with Kwame as Inger's new boyfriend Mom recoils with disgust, and Inger throws her out of the apartment. This behavior seems to be related to her drinking, as later, when she's sober, Mom apologizes. | |

Titled After the Song: Titled after "Silent Night" obviously, in a title meant to evoke loneliness over the holidays (the short is set around Christmas and New Year's). | |

Silent Nights / int_fdb3b2b5 | comment |
Lady Drunk: Inger's mother. Inger sometimes has to drag her drunk mom home from bars. At other times Mom is so drunk she soils herself in bed. In a sober moment she apologizes for her behavior. | |
