Kjærast
Kjærast (Norwegian for “sweetheart”)
Asle (Leo Magnus de la Nuez) and Gerd (Kristi-Helene Giæver Engeberg) meet in a small coastal town at the western edge of the sea. They have a son, and for a while their happiness is complete. But Asle, a seaman, is restless and drawn to the sea, while Gerd stays behind in the village, alone with their child (Audun Gallefoss). The distance between them grows, and the question arises: how much distance can love endure?
KJÆRAST is directed by Erik Poppe and is based on Nobel laureate Jon Fosse’s only screenplay written specifically for film. The film is a story about love and the power of longing.
