00:19Well, I'm very happy because it's not just an entertaining film. I hope it is entertaining. I hope it is
00:26human.
00:27I hope it is going to speak to people about this necessity of getting into a dialogue with the others.
00:33I hope it's going to bring more doubts to people who are sure that they are right and everybody else
00:40is wrong.

00:46just one solution for the problems that the world is having.
00:50The movie is based on true events and is notable for how it questions the progressive values of Norwegian society
00:56and appears sympathetic to the conservative religious characters, a departure from most arthouse festival fare.
