This was the first Norwegian film I have ever seen. It was fabulous! The cast was great and the main character, Petra, a free spirit with a past, was absolutely stirring and inspiring. She is, as a French friend of mine says, "like Pippi Longstocking." She weaves amazing stories, but the real Petra behind those stories is just as intriguing. She is a young woman who has run from her past to start anew with a preacher and his daughter.
I don't want to ruin this for you. Unfortunately, it is not available in this country and I wish more people here could see it, like I did.
Hopefully, it will be released here one day. The cinematography alone is stunning!
