Description

Robert, a young Polish immigrant, arrives in Norway to work for a fish factory in hopes of paying off his mother’s rising debts. Suppressing his true self to fit in with the other Poles at the factory, Robert develops feelings for Ivar, the out and proud son of the factory owner who also moonlights as a drag performer. As the two get to know each other, a worker’s strike breaks out and Robert is faced to decide on his future: will he choose financial stability or his community?

Polish-Norwegian Director Leiv Igor Devold’s feature is a striking and honest portrayal of the intersecting limits of class and culture.
