Description
The wonderful acting debut of Marie Ulven, better known as Girl in Red! After a breakdown, Maja abandons her successful music career and returns to the town where she grew up. She takes a job as an examiner at the local high school. During the long, dull hours, with little more to do than watch the time pass, she asks herself: how do you go on living once you’ve already peaked? With Low Expectations, Eivind Landsvik has crafted a beautiful film about second chances and starting over.
Director Eivind Landsvik will be present for a Q&A after the screenings on October 11 and 12.
