FUCKING BOONIES

by Frøydis Fossli Moe, Maria Wiik

synopsis

Mariam is in her mid-twenties and leads a hedonistic life in Oslo. One day, her estranged older sister calls with a shocking message: They have to bury their father for the second time. This brings back memories from a few years earlier - right after their father's passing - when Mariam showed up high at their father's funeral and had a fit of laughter at the worst possible moment. In shame, she moved from the town in Gudbrandsdalen to Oslo. On the other hand, Katrine, her sister, has been living alone with their father's goldfish in their childhood home and is now determined to rectify the terrible memorial and give their father a dignified farewell for the second time. Together, the two sisters must reconnect after both physical and emotional distance over several years. The question is whether it's too late?
