Synopsis

Ask is married to Anne and they have everything you could ever want - good careers, lovely children, an apartment in a fashionable area of Denmark and each other.

Everything appears to be just as it should in a modern family faced with juggling work schedules, child rearing and, not least of all, love... Until one morning, Ask tells Anne that he wants to take a break.

It's a choice that will affect every part of their lives and everybody around them. Above The Street Below The Water is a film about the adult generation of today. A generation for whom everything is possible and only the imagination sets the limits for what you can desire.
