A young 34-year-old man walks across a town made from insulated sounds and images that linger at the corner of one’s eye, waiting for the right moment to assault him from every single direction. The character’s subjectivity is, more or less – as Andrei Gorzo notes –, playing games on him, taking several liberties: a muddled visual field here, a man whom we thought we were following getting increasingly faraway there, wrapped up in an incandescent voice over. It is precisely because our man, Anders, is a revenant who, after a long absence, needs to recalibrate his perception to grasp the Procrustes-like nature of the world: having left the clinic where he had been enrolled in a detox program, Anders returns to Oslo, under the pretext of a job interview. However, this seemingly uneventful day will have far-reaching consequences.
