Why we chose it

Stellan Skarsgård dances to Krzysztof Krawczyk’s “Mój przyjacielu” as a quiet man dragged into revenge and desire when all he wants is a normal life. Hans Petter Moland (“In Order of Disappearance”) took it to the Berlinale. Nobody in it tries to be funny, which is exactly why it works.

Synopsis

Ulrik has just served twelve years in Oslo for murder, and the first people to track him down are his old associates. He rents a basement room, takes a job at a garage and starts circling around his grown-up son. Everyone has some business with him, when all he’d like to do is fix cars. That isn’t how it’s going to go.
