Director Statement

There is a painting called "Nødskudd" ("emergency flare") by the renowned Norwegian painter Christian Krohg form which this film draws a lot of inspiration. I wanted to make a story around this painting, creating the world I imagined to exist beyond its frames. I don't know why I figured a pompous Icelandic brewery CEO would be part of that, but there you are.
