Together
Toronto International Film Festival - Discovery Section
Together explores what happens when people are torn apart. When the glue that holds their family together – wife and mother Kristine – dissolves by way of a freak accident, the two disjointed members, father Roger and twelve-year-old son Pål, are forced to strive for intimacy. Shocked by their lack of communication, they realize that the only thing that kept them together was Kristine. Chatterbox Roger has lost the only person who could shut him up, while taciturn Pål has been deprived of his maternal mouthpiece. Kristine's memory lingers on like a proverbial phantom limb: instead of reaching out to each other, they both reach for their dearly departed, which only increases the pain.
