Following recent Norwegian breakthrough titles such as Sentimental Value and Loveable, Solomamma emerges as another critically acclaimed Scandinavian drama rooted in the same cinematic tradition: a restrained yet exacting work of storytelling, acutely attuned to intimacy and to the consequences of personal choice.
Edith, a journalist in her 40s, chose to become a single mother through an anonymous sperm donor, believing she can build a life on her own terms. She is now the happy mother of a five-year-old son. But the emotional weight of parenting alone begins to wear on her, and doubts creep in. When she unexpectedly discovers the donor’s identity – a nearby successful game developer named Niels – curiosity leads her to meet him on the pretext of an interview. What begins as a calculated encounter gradually deepens into a genuine connection, driving Edith to sink deeper into lies and endanger the fragile balance of the life she has built.
