A HUMAN POSITION

In this meticulously crafted yet austere story, a modern, urgent dilemma unfolds: Asta tries to find meaning and a sense of place in the coastal town in Western Norway where she works as a journalist. As she attempts to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of an asylum seeker, her personal life and her views on justice are affected. An elegant, beautifully framed drama, which, in the words of the filmmaker, demonstrates “how a quiet pace, static camera, and a subtle story can activate the viewer to engage with the film... Choices in style take the viewer from passive to active, and therefore involve them more deeply into the characters, ideas, values, and the world portrayed,” guiding them to navigate humanity with kindness and sanity.
