Jørgen, a Mystery (2016 - ongoing)
When considering his age, countless diseases and 40 years of drug abuse, Jørgen Pedersen should have been dead long ago. He has played his part on the drug scene of Aarhus since he moved there as a teenager and was first intrigued by the rush of heroin. Six years ago, Inger (87), Jørgen’s mother, lost her middle son, Ole, to a liver disease. He too was a drug addict and he was the brother and best friend of Jørgen.
Jørgen used to visit his mother, Inger, every Sunday in his childhood home. But now it is only once or twice a month. Both Inger's and Jørgen's health conditions have simply put a stop to the frequent get-togethers. "I can't stand the thought of my mother passing away. I can't take it," Jørgen says. But the thought of his mother being at risk of losing another son is just as terrible. Therefore, Jørgen is determined to do everything in his power to stay alive and be there for Inger till the end.
