The ravishing backdrop of snow-swept mountains set the dramatic stage for two women coming to terms with a past trauma whose aftershocks are still keenly felt. Nora (Marte Magnusdottor) and Solveig (Ellen Dorrit Petersen) return to hike the picturesque peak where five years ago they lost their beloved son, hoping to walk, talk, and somehow recenter their hearts. Magnusdottor and Petersen excel under the direction of Ole Giæver, who is quietly building a specialty in mature looks at the hardest of times.
