Kristoffer Borgli

He has to face all of these anxieties about who the woman he's about to marry actually is and how or if he will even be able to reckon with this massive reveal.

Christopher Borgli's film presents this dilemma in a fascinating way.

Given the premise, it is quite a culturally relevant subject.

Norwegian.

Yeah, well, Borgli.

Borgli, I like that.

Christopher Borgli.

It's a good watch.

So Christopher Borgli? He's a Norwegian who wrote the drama.

You know how those Norwegians are.

Really? Was meant to do it, yeah.

Oh, shit.
