Drama

One day in the life of Anders, a young recovering drug addict, who takes a brief leave from his treatment center to interview for a job and catch up with old friends in Oslo.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at a day of reckoning. It's a quiet, devastating portrait of a man wrestling with his past and the daunting prospect of a future he may not want. Feels like a long, sad exhale.
