Adapted from a story idea by Kirk Kjeldsen and Rob Tregenza. Edited by Elise Olavsen. Cinematography by Tregenza. In Norwegian with English subtitles. DCP. 94 min.

In this formally inventive historical drama, acclaimed American filmmaker Rob Tregenza explores the moral complexities of World War II and the permutations of history and its representation. Set in occupied Norway, The Fishing Place follows Anna (Ellen Dorrit Petersen), a housekeeper who arrives to work for a German priest in rural Telemark. As the priest grapples with his faith amid the corruption of power, Anna navigates her own secrets through clandestine meetings with a local SS officer.
