A story about the beautiful but confused young woman Helene, who, according to her mother, was born as a 'technical error'. Helene suspects that her father, who left his family before Helene was born, might be the once celebrated director of a dilapidated theater in Copenhagen. Assisted by a series of bizarre coincidences and by her mother's dog (a creature in whose shadow Helene has always lived), Helene manages to get closer to her father. "Excuse me" is a rugged, larger than life comedy about finding your place in life. About being accepted and the price you pay in doing so. It's a story about identity - amongst all creatures, including humans.
