When Animals Dream



Jonas Alexander Arnby : 2014
Når dyrene drømmer

Sixteen-year-old Marie is an outsider in the small coastal community where she has grown up. The townspeople live in fear of her and not least her mother who is suffering from a mysterious illness, is on medication and confined to a wheelchair. Her father, the local grocer, tries to make life as normal as possible for the small family. On the surface, everything seems fine, and yet, Marie cannot help feeling that he is hiding something about her mother's illness. At the same time, she senses that something strange is happening to her body, that she is losing control of herself. When she discovers long hair growing on her chest and back she begins searching for answers concerning her family's hidden past. Something that will have great consequences for herself and her family, and the choices she has to make. Jonas Alexander Arnby's feature debut premiered at Semaine de la Critique du Festival de Cannes 2014.
