Drama

It’s not easy to rebel when your dad wants to join the party... One day (in 1979), Magnus and his son Nikolaj hit the wall in their new terrace house in Rykkinn. Magnus is an architect, hippie and free spirit, a glaring exception in a community where equality and conformity is the norm. He always stands up for his son, supporting him unconditionally, even when Nikolaj decides to stop giving a damn.

VIBE

A nostalgic, quirky dive into 70s Norway, this film feels like a warm, slightly awkward family reunion. It’s about finding your own way amidst societal pressures and parental expectations, with a soundtrack that’ll make you want to break free.
