Solomamma

Janické Askevold
RELEASE Thu 28 May

Forty-year-old Edith is a journalist and a consciously single mother through sperm donation. She is happy with her young son Sigurd, but single parenthood also leaves her uncertain about what she has to offer.

When she unexpectedly discovers the identity of the donor, her curiosity takes over. Edith decides to seek him out under the false pretense of interviewing him about his tech company. However, that risky decision not only disrupts her own life and emotions, but also those of many around her.

Solomamma is a Norwegian tragicomedy about the courage to live an unconventional life and the universal desire to belong. In an intimate way, with a touch of humor, the film explores the minefield of modern parenthood and related questions of identity, connection, and the ethical boundaries we are willing to cross when it comes to children. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, where it was awarded the Ecumenical Prize, and was subsequently selected for numerous international festivals.
