An emotionally rich dramedy from Joachim Trier, track­ing two sisters—stage actress Nora and academic Agnes—who are forced to reconnect with their estranged father Gustav after their mother’s death. A once-celebrated filmmaker, Gustav returns with a personal screenplay inspired by their family history and offers Nora the lead role. When she refuses, he casts Hollywood actress Rachel Kemp, triggering buried resentments and new tensions. Set against the backdrop of their ancestral Oslo home, the film weaves together grief, fragmented memories, and the healing power—and pitfalls—of art. Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning deliver powerful performances in this Cannes Grand Prix winner.
