Hair of the Dog

Arve Nor is exposed to a boat accident alone on the sea, taking a settlement with his own identity in his last moment on earth.

Anthology film based on three short stories by Knut Hamsun, updated to modern times.

A young Norwegian boy in 1850s England goes to work as a cabin boy and discovers some of his shipmates are actually pirates.

This melodrama is based on the best-selling autobiography of Ida Halvorsen, a part-time prostitute with a life that was difficult to survive. Ida (Kristin Kajander) grew up with an alcoholic father, and after she married an alcoholic, her life went from early marital bliss to misery. She had a child during that marriage, took drugs, and turned to prostitution to get the money she needed. Along the way, many characters she met were dangerous and in more than one instance almost killed her. For Norwegians who are familiar with her story, the ending to the film will be recognized as incomplete, the story continues. For other audiences the ending might be a little grim.

Birte from Aursfjord, a strong-willed young woman with extraordinary psychic abilities, falls in love with a Sámi, but is forced to marry a local man.
