A portrait of a family in Oslo, the house they’ve lived in for generations, and of how the past has a way of resurfacing in unexpected ways.
The film follows acclaimed stage actress Nora (Reinsve) and her younger sister Agnes (Lilleaas) as their eccentric and charismatic father, Gustav (Skarsgård), suddenly steps back into their lives after a long absence. Once a renowned film director, Gustav looks to make his comeback and make amends with Nora by offering her the lead role in his next film. But Nora wants nothing to do with her father or his film. The film is an intimate and poignant exploration of family, memories, and the reconcilatory power of art. Stellan Skarsgård plays Gustav, while Elle Fanning portrays an American movie star who comes to Oslo.
