Andromeda (teaser1)

Androméda is a young virgin chained to a cliff by the sea. King Cepheus wanted to sacrifice his own daughter to Poseidon the god of the sea. This image of a young woman chained to a cliff is used as a metaphor to our present situation as hostages to a deadly virus.
In 21 verses written by Rolf Alme, the text accumulates ancient Greek references and mix them with present images and situations. The text is an attempt to express these extraordinary
emotional social and political circumstances of today’s pandemic.
The film confronts the text with additional images and references from a situation in a seemingly life-less Oslo during lock down. In many ways the film is a poetic journey from a cliff by the Aegean Sea
over 2000 years ago where a young virgin is sacrificed to Poseidon to the icy shores of the Oslo-Fjord of today where to young actors struggle to survive in the pandemic.
