A young woman, Ida, has disappeared without a trace. In an empty apartment in Copenhagen, Sander is kept locked up. Here he is voluntarily filmed and interrogated by two men; Ida’s father and brother. It turns out that Ida, long before her disappearance, lived a secluded life with Sander, isolated from the community - in the middle of the city. But Sander does not tell the whole truth.

A woman living quietly in a religious community in rural Denmark gets her orderly life disrupted by the arrival of her brother. Slowly his presence exposes a secret from their troubled past. Acts of Love is a film about children in adult bodies, the power of therapy – and how unresolved trauma shapes the way we love and what we believe in. The siblings’ secret ultimately forces the members of the community to ask themselves: who gets to decide over love?
