What happens

Reprise is a 2006 Norwegian comedy-drama film directed by Joachim Trier and co-written, over the course of five years, by Trier and Eskil Vogt. It is Trier's first feature-length film and the first, along with Oslo, August 31st (2011) and The Worst Person in the World (2021), in the director's Oslo trilogy. The film follows a friend group of people from Oslo as they navigate their early 20s, focusing particularly on Erik (Espen Klouman Høiner) and Phillip (Anders Danielsen Lie), who both harbour ambitions of being writers but whose lives take different paths. It was the Norwegian submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 79th Academy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
