This multi-award-winning marital drama from Norway is a searing yet heartfelt portrait of what it means to be loveable.

Years after a whirlwind romance leads to her second marriage, Maria (Helga Guren) finds herself lost and confused amid her busy life when her husband (Oddgeir Thunn) says he wants a divorce. As she struggles to understand what went wrong, everyone around her - her ex, her children, and even her mother – gives her the impression that she was the cause. Featuring an outstanding, vulnerable performance from Guren, Lilja Ingolfsdottir’s debut feature takes a fresh and nuanced approach to contemporary ideas of romance, relationship equality, and the power of womanhood.

“Superbly acted and sharply written, this impressive feature debut from Lilja Ingolfsdottir casts a perceptive, empathetic eye over the messy business of breaking up.” – Wendy Ide, Screen International
