Synopsis: Edith (Force Majeure’s Lisa Loven Kongsli), a journalist in her 40s, chose to become a single mother through an anonymous sperm donor, believing she could build a life on her own terms. She is now the happy mother of a five-year-old son. But the emotional weight of parenting alone begins to wear on her, and doubts creep in. When she unexpectedly discovers the donor’s identity—a nearby successful game developer named Niels (The Worst Person in the World’s Herbert Nordrum)—curiosity leads her to meet him on the pretext of an interview. What begins as a calculated encounter gradually deepens into a genuine connection, driving Edith to sink deeper into lies and endanger the fragile balance of the life she has built.

Janicke Askevold: Askevold was born in Bærum, Norway. At the age of 19, she was recruited by a modelling agency and promptly left for Milan.
