Norwegian Oscar shortlist: Beware of Children, Harajuku and Out Stealing Horses

Oscar 2020. The Norwegian Academy Award has shortlisted Beware of Children, Harajuku, and Out Stealing Horses for this year's Academy Award nominations for Best Foreign Language Film. The final Norwegian Oscar will be announced on September 3.

Beware of Children
Beware of Children traces the dramatic aftermath of a tragic event in a middle class suburb of Oslo. 12 years old Lykke, the daughter of a celebrity Labor member, seriously injured her classmate Jamie, the son of a high profile right-wing politician. When this happens in hospital, it becomes more difficult to make a difficult and traumatic situation worse. What it only innocent play behind? Liv, the school's principal and the secret lover of Jamie's father, must find the strength to confront a community in distress, and her own highly conflicted emotions.

Beware of Children will premiere at Venice Days on September 3 and is scheduled for release on September 13, 2019.

Written and directed by Dag Johan Haugerud and produced by Yngve Sæther for Motlys. Picture Tree International is handling international sales. Read more ...

Trond's father prepared him to carry the burden of his forthcoming betrayal and disappearance in 1948, the summer he turned 15 and the summer. And so the summer Trond grew up and smelled the scent of a woman longed for. The same woman Trond's father is preparing to spend his life with.

Out Stealing Horses won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution for its Cinematography at the Berlinale 2019, before Norwegian premiere on March 8, 2019.
