Oslo-Stories: Träume (Strick-Kino)

In the organizer's words:

At this preview we combine hobby and cinema in the Scandinavian style: you can knit or crochet to your heart's content while the movie is playing on the screen. The lights in the room will remain on so that you can see both the movie and your stitches. So pack your needles, yarn and your knitting and crocheting friends - and off you go!

About the movie:

At the age of 17, Johanne falls head over heels in love with her teacher. Desperate to record her first crush, she puts her experiences down on paper with raw honesty. When her mother and grandmother discover the notes, their initial horror at the intimate descriptions gradually gives way to admiration for their literary value. The two older women begin to reflect on their own love lives, pleasures enjoyed and opportunities missed, and they remember the overwhelming feeling of first love and the longing for more. Johannes' grandmother, a well-known poet herself, is proud of her granddaughter's talent, but also feels the competition. And there are questions: What really happened between Johanne and the teacher? Where does reality end and fiction begin? And should this very personal text be published - or should it not?
