Screenings:

Real estate agent Ingrid and her friend Maria, a composer, meet in connection with a mutual girlfriend getting married. It has been agreed upon to create a song on the occasion of the wedding, but the idea turns out to be more difficult to realize than expected.

Ingrid in particular has trouble focusing on the task after a friend suggested that she more or less took the life of her own mother, by taking her on a ride that ended in an accident. We follow Ingrid and Maria through several meetings leading up to the wedding, and more or less fruitful conversations about key phrases, syntax, conscience and forgiveness.

As in many of Dag Johan Haugerud's films, humor often emerges through what is felt or thought, and what is being said or not being said.
