In this fluid, sharply observant, and continually surprising film, an adolescent country girl (Eili Harboe), the daughter of a quietly domineering mother and father, begins to manifest a terrifying and uncontrollable power.

Q&As with Joachim Trier, Eskil Vogt, Eili Harboe following the screenings on 10/6 and 10/7
In the new film from Joachim Trier (Reprise), an adolescent country girl (Eili Harboe) has just moved to the city to begin her university studies, with the internalized religious severity of her quietly domineering mother and father (Ellen Dorrit Petersen and Henrik Rafaelsen) always in mind. When she realizes that she is developing an attraction to her new friend Anja (Okay Kaya), she begins to manifest a terrifying and uncontrollable power that her parents have long feared. To reveal more would be a crime; let’s just say that this fluid, sharply observant, and continually surprising film begins in the key of horror and ends somewhere completely different. A release of The Orchard. Special thanks to the Norwegian Consulate.
