‘A dark and gripping story \u00a0about a newly blind woman is twisty, intense and illuminated by a dazzling central performance.’<\/em> – Irish Times<\/p>\n

Premiered at both Berlin and Sundance to great critical acclaim, this new Norwegian film has attracted a lot of attention for the way it blends humour, insight, complexity and tension, keeping the audience gripped from start to finish without any sense of where it might be headed. Ingrid is a young woman who has gone blind and is adjusting to her new condition in her apartment, where even making a cup of tea is a major undertaking. In order to keep her visual imagination fresh, she is writing a story in which fantasy and reality overlap, to the point where the audience becomes uncertain of what is real. Comparisons have been made with Charlie Kauffman\u2019s Adaptation, and Variety calls it \u2018droll, sexy and heartbreaking\u2019. – Bath Film Festival 2014<\/p>\n
