A warm, character-driven comedy-drama about a single mother navigating family, work, and self-care, balancing humor with the genuine weight of loss and responsibility.

Pørni is about the dilemmas that you end up in when you, to the best of your abilities, try to do the right thing for your loved ones, and yourself. In that order. Pørni has two daughters with a jerk of an ex who has moved to Copenhagen, who focuses mainly on himself.
