What happens

Havnsø er en dansk kortfilm fra 1968 instrueret af Niels Heie efter eget manuskript. Et møde mellem en mand og en kvinde, hvis kærlighedsforhold er ved at opløses. Omkring disse to personer er to andre placeret: en pige, som tilskuerne aldrig ser, men kun hører, og en pige, som hovedpersonen for at udfylde en ventetid forsøger at opnå kontakt med.
