Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father - and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.

Funding is available for different formats with a Norwegian minority co-producer.
Sørfond grants top financing for co-production of fiction and documentary films where the main producer is located in a DAC-country.
This scheme is designed to stimulate increased exports of Norwegian films by providing grants for the marketing and distribution of Norwegian films abroad.
You may apply for funding of collective launch events and financing initiatives held in international arenas.
The film production incentive grants return on costs spent in Norway to international films and series produced entirely or partly in Norway.
