O'Horten
Now in his late sixties and approaching retirement, Norwegian train engineer Odd Horten (Baard Owe) embarks on a - dare one say it - odd journey of self-discovery that takes him on a series of misadventures with family, friends, and complete strangers. A meditative, intimate, and moving story of misspent youth, forgotten dreams, and the nature of mortality. Written and directed by Bent Hamer ('Kitchen Stories').
