The film stars Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Henriette Steenstrup, Anne Krigsvoll, Hallvard Holmen, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, and Renate Reinsve in a small supporting role. For her performance in the film, Ibsdotter Lilleaas was nominated for the Amanda Award for Best Lead Actress, while Krigsvoll won Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Agnes. [3]
The film tells the story of three women and their different lives. Literature student Sigrid falls in love with the successful author Kåre Tryvle, who is twenty years older than her. Trine is an outspoken performance artist who has prioritized her career over having children, and it is therefore very unfortunate that she has become pregnant. Fortunately, she meets lumberjack Agnes, a writer with writer's block in her forties, who fears that she will soon die and therefore wants to contact her adopted son. One thing the three women have in common is that they are blindly searching to find themselves and attain happiness. [4]
