Beloved

Norway

BELOVED ("Kjærast") is a tender, visually powerful story of love’s fragility and longing. In a small coastal town, Asle and Gerd find each other and become parents to a boy. However their happiness is brief. As a sailor, Asle is drawn to escape, leaving Gerd alone with the child as distance grows between them. Told in Fosse’s minimalist style, through silence, glances and landscape, the story rests on deep compassion for three lives, and asks how much distance love can endure before it breaks.
