Rosanna’s existence as a teenage mother in the countryside is lonely and hopeless. When her friends show up one summer evening, the boundaries between teenage life and motherhood become blurred. A film about wanting to stay young when you should grow up, being split between your child’s and your own needs.

The Midnight Sun blurs the line between night and day. For part of the year, living close to the Arctic Circle means having more hours of the day to spend bonding with others. Though this, in combination with a lack of things to do, breeds creativity in some folks, others might arguably have too much time on their hands. The concept of status quo, i.e. nothing has changed, has seldom been more suitable.
