House of Norway

About This Movie

House of Norway is this offbeat comedy that dives deep into the absurdities of asylum-seeking through the eyes of a Persian refugee. The atmosphere is a mix of quirky charm and underlying tension, heightened by the oddball characters he encounters at this secluded academy. The pacing feels a bit unconventional, almost like a series of sketches strung together, but it works in building the oddball charm. Practical effects are minimal, keeping the focus on performances, which range from whimsical to thought-provoking. The themes of identity and acceptance are subtle yet poignant, wrapped in a layer of humor that makes you reflect while chuckling. Definitely one to sit with and ponder after the credits roll.
