KISSED BY WINTER (Vinterkyss)


5 p.m.

Johnsen’s debut film is set against a winter landscape, and tells the story of a Stockholm doctor whose scholarly son dies after she bullies him into playing hockey. She leaves her husband and sets up as a country doctor in the snowbound wilds of Norway. When the body of a young Iraqi is found by the side of the road in a snowdrift and a genial snowplow driver is suspected of manslaughter, the doctor determines to find the truth. In the process, the film presents its fascinating, profound and touching examination of the unimaginable grief and guilt that results from the loss of a child.
