Stavanger
Short film / 38 min / 2014
54 year-old Marta longs to return to the time she had with her husband Wolfgang before they took over the farm. The two have been living parallel lives for years and suppress the obvious problems in their relationship. One morning, when Wolfgang doesn't come back from the stables, Marta's orderly world falls apart. Paralyzed, yet frantically trying to keep her everyday life together, Marta gets sucked into a downwards spiral that she can no longer escape by herself. Only when the past powerfully surfaces does she begin to accept the truth, and do what has to be done.
STAVANGER – a film about isolation and forgiveness. Sometimes it takes our greatest rivals to show us the way to redemption...
