Following the Academy Award-nominated sensation The Worst Person in the World, Joachim Trier reunites with Renate Reinsve for this Cannes Grand Jury Prize winner.
Nora Borg is an established Oslo stage actress; her younger sister Agnes is her closest companion. The two grew up together after their once-renowned filmmaker father Gustav left the family years earlier. When Gustav re-enters their lives and attempts to cast Nora in his comeback film, old wounds bleed anew. Nora rejects his offer, prompting Gustav to cast American star Rachel Kemp, who gradually comes to realize she has unwittingly become part of a deeply personal film drama. Agnes, meanwhile, delves deeper into the family history as Gustav and Nora attempt rapprochement, revealing a past that threatens the fragile foundations of the family.
