“Death won't tear us apart”
Struggling against the increasing frailties of advanced age, Carmen (Wenche Medbøe) and her wife Nina (Kari Simonsen) refuse to lose their agency and can’t bear the thought of either losing the other. They work to finish a homemade rocket, aspiring to leave together and see what their futures may hold. Norwegian director Tess Quatri has made a beautiful and compelling film that just may have you in tears.

Pansy is a woman so full of rage that every interaction she has devolves into lashing out, whether at her utterly cowed husband and son, or random strangers who have the temerity to address her. In contrast, her younger sister Chantelle lives with her two vivacious daughters and plies a successful trade as a hairdresser, putting clients at their ease all day long. Yet beneath Pansy’s abrasive exterior are hints of a more fragile psyche, one motivated by fear and damaged by repressed pain.
