Prague Plot Summary

What happens in Prague from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 1-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Married couple Christoffer and Maja travel to Prague to collect and bring home the body of Christoffer’s father for burial in Denmark. After checking into their hotel, he visits the hospital mortuary, where his long-estranged relationship with his father colors the scene with quiet detachment; he leaves with a cardboard box containing pajamas and other possessions, including a mobile phone. To his surprise, the phone rings and he finds himself speaking to a Lawyer who is handling the estate—and who later turns out to be the father’s gay lover. Back at the hotel, he confronts Maja with the knowledge of her clandestine affair. She confesses to it but insists that she still loves him and that they had grown apart.
