This critically acclaimed film from the director of REPRISE finds Anders on the verge of successfully completing treatment at a drug rehab in the countryside. As part of the program, he is allowed to go into Oslo for a job interview but instead uses the opportunity to revisit friends and old haunts. 34-year-old Anders is smart, handsome and from a good family, but deeply haunted by all the opportunities he’s wasted and all the people he’s let down. For the remainder of the day and long into the night, he will wrestle with the chance of love and the possibility of a new life.
