Seniorenkino: ARMAND

In the organizer's words:

Senior movie: ARMAND

On one of the last days before the school vacations, something happens between six-year-old Armand and Jon, who is the same age. What exactly remains unclear. However, the incident seems serious enough to the school management that the parents of the two boys are called in. But the conversation between single parent Elisabeth (Renate Reinsve) and Jon's parents Sarah (Ellen Dorrit Petersen) and Anders (Endre Hellestveit) quickly escalates. In their search for the truth, everyone involved gets caught up in a maelstrom of vanity, jealousy and desire.

In ARMAND, Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel takes a razor-sharp and satirical look at the parental discussion disguised as a peaceful exchange to find the truth. He mercilessly exposes the Scandinavian values supposedly practiced at school as a construct of false loyalty and malice.
