A failed ballerina, now showgirl, stripper and single mom is confronted with her broken dream, and with the help of a mystic she must stage Swan Lake in a divided society in the Sahara desert in order to survive.
It’s "Moulin Rouge" meets "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and "Leaving Las Vegas". A character driven musical- drama- romance set in the bustling Las Vegas, a theatre in Norway, and in the beautiful sand dunes of the Sahara Desert having the historic events of a rivalry rally, for and against women rights as the dramatic backdrop.
A young angel falls in love with a woman living in the countryside of Toten, Norway, and has to decide if he should become a human.
The film plays a hommage to Wim Wender's "Himmel über Berlin" and is also a part of a full-length stage perforormance. The film has a premiere at the movie theatre Gjøvik Kino in 2017.
