Oslo Culture Night: The Face of the Road (Veien sitt ansikt) – Julian Karenga

The Face of the Road is a coming-of-age tale inspired by myths and fairy tales.

We meet the Boy who embarks on a journey to find his father. During the journey, he tries to piece together fragments of a childhood marked by substance abuse and neglect. The northern Norwegian cityscape of Tromsø becomes a stage for a magical tale that blossoms from sorrow. To understand himself, the Boy must understand his father, who has almost become a mythical figure in his life. Along the way, the Boy has helpful companions, including his younger brother, a chubby cat, and his classmate Marte.
