Language: Norwegian
Faced with retirement, Odd Horton ( Bard Owe) embarks upon a series of adventures which reveal how many strange and wonderful things there are to be found in the world all around us. Although he meets a number of remarkable people along the way, there's nothing in Odd's experiences that lies outside the possible - rather, it's the combination of events, the unlikeliest of them and the unblinking way they are observed that lends this film its magical atmosphere.
Its gentle, absurdist humour is perfectly complemented by a charmingly understated performance from Owe. It is also beautifully shot and produced. It's a delightful film which (provided you're not too sensitive about a bit of nudity) will appeal to the whole family. Winner - Best Director, Flanders International Film Festival 2008
