An atmospheric, slow-paced look at a dysfunctional relationship.

A nostalgic and romanticised portrait of factory life in the North of England in the 1980's, which successfully attempts to present pretty much all the roles one would find in an industrialised workplace.

An Ibsen play successfully transported to the present day by some of Norway’s finest actors, in a near-flawless production. Norwegian language with surtitles sounds daunting, but it isn’t.
