My Wonderful Stranger
In Competition. UK PREMIERE
A delusional 18-year-old convinces an amnesic that he is her boyfriend in this richly atmospheric psychological thriller
Ebba, a lonely 18-year-old who is looking after a luxurious house for a couple while they are on holiday, encounters a handsome man with a head wound at Oslo harbour. Upon learning that he is suffering from amnesia, she convinces him that they are lovers and brings him into her fantasy laden life. As he begins to regain his memory and dark facts about his past life emerge, the tables begin to turn.
Moodily shot and featuring a superb breakthrough performance from Camilla Godø Krohn, this enigmatic game of cat and mouse unfolds in deeply satisfying twists and turns, as the boundaries between imagination, delusion and deceit begin to blur.
