Yatzy

About This Movie

Yatzy, directed by Katja Eyde Jacobsen, presents a stark and gripping look at adolescence weighed down by trauma. The film follows Daggi, a 15-year-old who’s not only navigating the throes of young love but also the shadows of a past that won’t let go. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of foreboding, punctuated by moments of raw emotion. Jacobsen’s pacing feels deliberate, drawing the viewer into Daggi's world where every choice holds the weight of his experiences. The performances, especially from the lead, are hauntingly real, capturing that fragile balance between vulnerability and defiance. It’s distinctive in its unflinching portrayal of teenage life, layered with complex themes of love and loss that linger long after the credits roll.
