WINNER OF THE WORLD CINEMA DRAMATIC SPECIAL JURY AWARD AT THE 2024 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

THE STORY: On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want?

THE SCORE: “Writing this score was a very personal experience for me and tapped deeply into my own experience of grief. The film asks indelible questions about love, death and life. Thea, the director, created an incredible cinematic space for the viewer to experience this work of moving art on their own terms and for a dance to occur between the cinematography, the music and the dialogue.” ? Peter Raeburn
