Neil BakerWinner of Best Performance in a Male Role (Feature Film) at the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival, Peccadillo Pictures presents Norwegian Dream on digital April 29.
Starring Hubert Milkowski, Karl Bekele Steinland, and Edyta Torhan, Norweigian Dream sees us travel to Norway, where we meet Robert, a young Polish immigrant, who has just arrived to work for a fish factory in hopes of paying off his mother’s rising debts. Suppressing his true self to fit in with the other Poles at the factory, Robert develops feelings for Ivar, the out and proud son of the factory owner who also moonlights as a drag performer. As the two get to know each other, a worker’s strike breaks out, and Robert is forced to decide on his future: Will he choose financial stability or his community?
Polish-Norwegian Director Leiv Igor Devold’s feature is a striking and honest portrayal of the intersecting limits of class and culture, winning Hubert Milkowski the Best Performance in A Male Role (Feature Film) Award at the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival in Cardiff last year.
Norwegian Dream’s streaming release date is April 29 on PeccadilloPOD, Prime, Apple TV, BFI Player, and Curzon Home Cinema.
Runtime: 97 minutes Languages: English, Polish, Norwegian Subtitles: English & English HOH
