Warm-hearted Feelgood Movie about self-discovery and a new beginning
Could a summer get off to a more disastrous start? Artist Frances' planned project falls through, her boyfriend breaks up with her, and while her younger sister blissfully celebrates her engagement, their parents announce the end of their marriage. Frustrated, Frances accepts an art scholarship in Norway without further ado and leaves the confines of New York for the remote, barren Lofoten Islands, where the sun never sets. But new challenges await her in front of the mystical panorama: She must toil with a grumpy artist for a boss, encounters eccentric Vikings and stumbles upon a grieving bachelor.
Successful "Wetlands" director David Wnendt goes Hollywood! For his light-footed, playful film adaptation of Rebecca Dinerstein Knight's novel, he gathers international stars in front of the camera: Jenny Slate ("Venom"), alongside Alex Sharp ("To the Bone"), Zach Galifianakis ("Hangover") and Golden Globe winner Gillian Anderson ("The Crown"), searches for her personal meaning in life in the Norwegian Lofoten Islands – and finds love.
