Af Tor Birk Trads.
"Det, der er nærmest, er det vi ikke ser" is a portrait of Vestegnen, the western suburbs of Copenhagen. Vestegnen was rapidly build in the latter part of the 20th century using newly accessible industrial building techniques and grand ideas about equality, rationalization and "the modern welfare city". The world has changed since the architects and city planners drew out the expansion of Copenhagen and today Vestegnen is not like they had anticipated, but still the inhabitants enjoy life there.
