Synopsis:  DARK HORSE is an offbeat comedy about Daniel (Jakob Cedergren), a somewhat irresponsible but charming young graffiti artist who doesn’t care even though everybody is trying to track him down: Parking attendants, landlords, bills and the police. One day he falls in love with Franc (Tilly Scott Pedersen), a girl just as irresponsible and charming as he is. All of a sudden his easy-going days are over and he is face to face with a serious leap of faith.
