NRThe story stems from a whistleblower case and the protagonist Sierra's examination of her own behavior towards the people in her daily life. The film follows her encounters, which reveal a person in crisis. The deeper, more honest, and more complex her encounters become, the more she fulfills the characteristics she is accused of. At the same time, the story also follows her pregnancy, and the closer she gets to giving birth, the closer she gets to a new understanding, which serves as a contrast to the crisis she is experiencing at work.

NRMind of Modernism brings you on a meditative and smooth journey through Norwegian architecture. In this film, Paul Tunge and photographer Egil Håskjold Larsen venture out into the public and into rooms, to explore modernist buildings in Norwegian society. This audiovisual journey is composed of three short films: Ad Astra, Bauta and Platform. In Ad Astra you will see brutalist church architecture, which is in stark contrast to the traditional church we all know. In Bauta you will soar around Oslo and observe concrete public buildings, while in Platform you will enter modern villas. Sound and image exist in a calm (but also chilling) symbiosis in this portrait of modernistic buildings.
