The Marathon Diary

When 17-year-old Anna Lorentz returns to Narvik in 1940 with her older sisters and brother, they find their town destroyed. They recover the family home, and survive the years that follow by running a hair salon. All this time, Anna nurtures her own dream.

Contemporary tale of young forbidden love, inspired by Norwegian folklore and medieval gore. Set in Norway during The Black Death, the film turns on the pious noble girl Astrid (18) who falls in love with the pagan outlaw Eilev (18), whose blood is believed to hold a cure for the deadly disease. When Eilev is captured, Astrid faces a devastating dilemma: lose him or become the monster she fears most - Pesta - the plague itself.

Sander (14) conceals his wounds beneath strict routines and a flawless surface. Forced to celebrate Midsummer at his grandmother’s chaotic country house, his worst nightmares come true. He is transported to a floral fantasy world with everything Sander detests: untamed nature, impulsive creatures, and a total lack of discipline. When he meets the enchanting Solar Queen, Sander finds a counterpart in his strive for order. But the Solar Queen is planning a gruesome Midsummer ritual, and Sander must confront his worst fear: revealing his own imperfection and vulnerability. Sander’s Midsummer is a story of self-acceptance and reconnection - with nature, ourselves, and the people who love us.
