Recommended from the age of 16 Steamy summer day, nine in the evening. The electricity is failing. People get unexpected headaches when the shrill sound is whistling. And soon Oslo was surrounded by an electric field. After the Event, the departed - the dead - return one by one, trying to find their place next to their living loved ones. A single mother is prevented from attempting suicide by her father - he brought her dead son with him. A woman said goodbye to her lover at a funeral, only to find him alive at home in the evening. The rhythm of the family's sorrow is interrupted by the return of the mother. Did the dead have to wake up? An unintentionally existential, psychologically tense fantasy that appeals to the consciousness of the living with a provocative question: is mourning an expression of selfishness? The debut feature of the Norwegian director Vistendal is an emotionally delicate watercolor of the genre of zombie cinema and auteur cinema - the award-winning novel of the Swedish writer Jon Aivides Lindqvist serves as its canvas. In the work, which was awarded the best original music award at the Sundance Film Festival, the city of Oslo takes on the meditative contours of the Zone - memories and unfulfilled longings, the dead and those who commemorate them enter it. Among them are Renate Reinsve, known as the Scandinavian Annie Hall, and Norwegian Anders Danielsen Lee from the drama "The Worst Man in the World" (2021).
