Liljekonvallpiken

Merete seems to have found a new life. Newly divorced and middle-aged, ordinary-looking and working as a public defender, she no longer sees her old friends and has little to do with her two grown children. Instead she spends her free time with the mismatched couple in the flat below: Karianne, a stunning thirty-year-old magazine journalist, and Mikke, in his early twenties, obsessed with his body and out of work. Soon Mikke’s older brother Sigurd arrives from London and takes his place in her life too. Jonas, her friend of fifteen years, is one of those Merete has stopped seeing, but he sees her, as if through a one-way mirror, and observes her clumsy attempts to start again.
