SUMMARY:SOLOMAMMA | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A touching and incisive portrait” (Cineuropa) —On October 7\, see the tender comedy-drama Solomamma! In Janicke Askevold’s second feature\, a single mother gets tangled up in a web of lies while searching for the identity of her son’s sperm donor. \nWhen Edith suddenly finds herself single as she nears her 40th birthday\, she chooses to have a child with the help of a sperm donor. But the joy of being a single mother to Sigurd is challenged by a creeping uncertainty when her son begins to ask questions about his absent father. When she unexpectedly discovers the donor’s identity—a nearby successful game developer named Niels—curiosity leads her to meet him on the pretext of an interview. What begins as a calculated encounter gradually deepens into a genuine connection\, driving Edith to sink deeper into lies and endanger the fragile balance of the life she has built. \nSolomamma is a sensitive drama about identity and belonging\, providing a rich portrayal of how modern family ties extend beyond the purely biological. Director Janicke Askevold explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding anonymous sperm donation and modern motherhood. Lisa Loven Kongsli and Herbert Nordrum embody their roles perfectly\, bringing out the vibrant tension in their encounters. The film was the first Norwegian film since 1975 to be selected for the main competition at the prestigious Locarno Film Festival. \nPurchase Tickets
