About the film:
Would you like to join us for a walk on the shore? Smile and Wave is a film essay about a coastal landscape in Vester氓len, Norway.
High-tide water and memories are mixed together in the story of the vulnerability of life and what remains when something is gone.
Can you say something about life by portraying a place? Can you understand more of yourself by examining your passions?聽
At Nordahlstranda in B酶 in Vester氓len, you can wade for hours in overalls and rubber boots and find treasures. The common heart urchin is magical and secret, thinner than an eggshell and just as vulnerable as you and me. A film about how nature activates our memories and our curiosity. Ebb and flow all day, your whole life. A slow breath that never ends. As if death did not exist. In a universe of common heart urchins, waving angels and skeletons, a story of a life emerges. A beautiful, poetic and thought-provoking film.
- The film has Norwegian audio and English subtitles.
