Kosmorama is delighted that NORWEGIAN DREAM will be the opening film at this year's festival, Monday 6th of March. This is the second year in a row that a film from Trønderlag has been chosen to open the festival.
NORWEGIAN DREAM is a queer love drama that was filmed in Hitra, Frøya, Orkanger and Trondheim. Director Leiv Igor Devold, who himself has a Norwegian-Polish background and lives in Trondheim, has made a painful drama about how difficult it can be to love others when you cannot accept yourself. The main actors Hubert Miłkowski and Trønderlag's Karl Bekele Steinland lead an exciting cast of Polish, Norwegian and local actors.
NORWEGIAN DREAM
Robert is 19 years old and has traveled from Poland to a coastal community outside Trondheim to pay off debt. He starts working at a fish processing company, where he meets his colleague Ivar – an aspiring drag queen – for whom Robert develops feelings. For fear of being exposed by his Polish workmates, Robert keeps the relationship a secret. Soon he is faced with a dilemma when an inflamed labor dispute breaks out, and Ivar supports the workers. Robert must choose which of his Norwegian dreams is most important to him.
