A Perfect Day
Isaksen, Runo: En perfekt dag
December 6th 2008: Married couple Bente and Ask are having a dinner party, but Ask wants to be somewhere else. Alone, perhaps, with his memories of his younger sister, who died so meaningless in the snow. Or out on the town with his friend Stian, laughing and having an easy life. Or with Marie, who he has been reacquainted with after 20 years apart. With her Ask unsteadily explores perfection, happiness and meaning, freedom and choice, art and love.
December 6th 2008 is just any day. Imagine conjuring up your very own perfect day. However, this may well be the day Ask no longer imagines his life.
