UNTITLED (working title, 2024)
A modern tragedy about five young women living together in Oslo, dealing with societies resistance and weakness to accept them as they are.
Still from our first feature film, directed by Ali Parandian.
Synopsis:
In this philosophical and provoking modern tragedy directed by Ali Parandian, we meet five young women living together in a shared apartment in Oslo, Norway.
As young adults, the girls struggle to settle with the presence that is a consequence of their surroundings and their ancestor’s past, they challenge the status quo of their existence and share their visions for the future. Visions which are expressed and rooted within their own personal spiritual realm.
In the pursue of deeper meaning and exploration of the subject matter the film smoothly shifts in a pendulum between; naturalism, magical realism, post-reflective modus, memories, dreams, and contemporary dance. Expressed in a sensual, fleeting, tactile and musical way – like a dream within dream. Abstracted metaphysical pictures work in a relay to make a contrapuntal and immersive experience for the viewer.
