Amnesia

Nini Bull Robsahm debut film "Amnesia" main characters takes a look at a seemingly happy couple Katherine Odegaard and Thomas Winther, who decide to go for a weekend getaway on secluded Norwegian island. A weekend that should have included good food and wine, lots of laughter and Katherine finishing her book, turns quickly into a bad dream. Katherine discovers she needs to find self-confidence in herself and not always depend on her boyfriend. Thomas on the other hand discovers that he and Katherine don’t share the same vision of future together, as he wants a child. This culminates into an argument, which ends with a physical struggle, where Thomas falls, and is knocked out. When he wakes up he can’t remember anything – not last night or the relationship with Katherine. What should Katherine do? Tell the truth or start everything over again, trying to leave the past behind?

In this debut film the director has approached the subject of relationship in an interesting angle trying to look at a couple that has run into a wall and asked the question “what if we started everything again, would we face the same problems, could we save us?”
