The Scandinavian mix of “Blue Is the Warmest Colour” by Abdelatif Kechich and “Carrie” by Brian de Palmas
Thelma begins her education at the University of Oslo and for the first time finds herself apart from her “believer” parents, who control her every move. She does not drink, does not smoke, and tries to live a sinless life until she meets her classmate, the charming Anja, whom she clearly longs for. It does not fit in with her upbringing and morals. Thelma’s gradually growing internal conflict manifests itself in seemingly out of nowhere strange epileptic seizures, the investigation of which may reveal a terrible secret …
Joachim Trier’s Scandinavian cold-blooded and symbol-filled thriller-puzzle with its answers hidden in the film.
