Synopsis
"In the new film from
Joachim Trier (
Reprise), an adolescent country girl (
Eili Harboe) has just moved to the city to begin her university studies, with the internalized religious severity of her quietly domineering mother and father (
Ellen Dorrit Petersen and
Henrik Rafaelsen) always in mind. When she realizes that she is developing an attraction to her new friend Anja (
Okay Kaya), she begins to manifest a terrifying and uncontrollable power that her parents have long feared. To reveal more would be a crime; let’s just say that this fluid, sharply observant, and continually surprising film begins in the key of horror and ends somewhere completely different." – Film Society of Lincoln Center
