Beginnings

Ane and Thomas are in the middle of a divorce when Ane suffers a sudden stroke. They agree to stay together until she recovers — a practical arrangement that becomes something more complicated as she struggles to return to the life she was leaving. Nordahl works with great delicacy in the space between what is said and what is felt. The performances are exceptional. A quiet, precise film about how illness interrupts even the endings we have decided upon. Berlin 2025.
