Aberdeen
Directed by Hans Petter Moland
Produced by Filmfabriken Baltic Sea AB, Norsk Film
A darkly comedic road trip exploring estrangement and dysfunction between a successful but self-destructive daughter and her alcoholic father, grounded in wry humor and unresolved family wounds.
Kaisa is a Scot, a successful London lawyer, who snorts coke and has one-night stands with strangers. Her mother calls from Aberdeen with some story begging her to fly to Norway and collect her alcoholic dad whom she hasn't seen in years.
