The making of Lars H.U.G.'s first solo album in 21 years in a film about aiming for the stars – and finally reaching them.
It is not easy to have high expectations of oneself. Neither for yourself, nor for those who must help you fulfil them. On the other hand, the result is all the greater when the hard work finally bears fruit. All of this is something the musician Lars H.U.G. and his co-musician and self-appointed bodyguard Povl-Kristian could testify to as the former Kliché frontman's first album in 21 years, '10 sekunders stilhed' ('Ten seconds of silence') was finally ready last year. 'Hugland' portrays its chaotic and creative genesis in all its ups and downs, in a portrait about the – at times dysfunctional but artistically durable, and ultimately utterly loveable – relationship between the legendary singer and his brave band mate. For even though he has been out of the limelight for a bit more than 10 seconds, Lars H.U.G. still has both the songs, musicality and hard-earned experience to make entire arenas rock.
