## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Midnight Copenhagen. The mortuary’s refrigeration hum. A flickering bulb illuminates jars of preserved flesh.

Law student Martin empties bins and counts the dead. Then names start matching labels. A trail of stains leads to a glove compartment lined with teeth.

Danish debut from the ’90s leans into practical gore and student loans.

**Mood tags**: dread
