Ålgård-born Kristin Auestad Danielsens has written Du er bonde (You are a farmer), a fable that evokes the rawness of Thelma & Louise, the vulnerability between the two young girls in The Ice Castle and the fuck-you finger in Lukas Moodysson's We Are the Best.
The destination is Gjesdal and we're going back to the 90s. The decade when Norway got a new king, Lady Diana died and it was important to keep your virginity for as long as possible, without being stuffy.
Here we meet two girls who have just come of age. They love popular culture from the eighties and nineties, refer as often as they can to Top Gun, X-Files, Titanic and Gilbert Grape and play Britta's pussy on repeat. What they both have in common is that they are farm girls, a title that until the 1990s was largely reserved for men. The fact that the law now entitles girls to the title deeds to farms is much to the chagrin of the girls' fathers and all the younger boys in the family.
