Director Joachim Trier, who co-wrote the script with Eskil Vogt, also attended the premiere. The plot centers around two sisters, Nora and Agnes, who reconnect with their estranged father, Gustav, a once-celebrated director. Nora, a stage actress, is offered a role in her father’s anticipated comeback film, but upon declining, she learns her part has been given to a rising Hollywood star. This development forces the sisters to grapple with their complicated family dynamics amidst the intrusion of an American star into their lives.
“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.”
