Scripted by Steinsbø from Norwegian author Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s novel, Doll in the Ceiling is one of the three Norwegian entries in the programme, starring Norwegian actress Siren Jørgensen as 38-year-old Rebekka, who sets out to take revenge on the man who raped her sister and drove her to suicide. Under a false identity, she seeks him out and embeds herself in his idyllic family step by step in order to take away everything that is precious to him and destroy his life. 

Set against the backdrop of the fjords in Western Norway, the film will be staged by Norwegian-German producer Kristine Knudsen, of Norway’s Den siste skilling AS, together with Canadian producer Paul Barkin, of Toronto’s Alcina Pictures. It is executive-produced by US producer Lisa G Black, of Garnet Girl LLC.
