Hats off to DogWoof for this incredibly moving, engaging and fascinating documentary.
Barbara is a Czech artist that's recently moved to Oslo to start a new life with her partner after leaving an abusive relationship. She isn't a well known artist, barely making ends meet, it's a complete shock when she receives the news that two men have stolen two of her paintings from a gallery.
Barbara approaches the thief after court, asking to paint his portrait and an usual friendship blossoms between curious and kind Barbara and the thief, the addict, the incredibly tender, and vulnerable Karl-Bertil Nordland.
The sequence where Barbara shows his portrait is the most moving segments of this film, he breaks down in floods of tears. The longing for empathy, connection to ones self and more importantly awareness of ones self and shadows is what this film successfully captures.
This is a story of human shadows, soul connection, addiction, friendship, love and all that is in between.
"You connected a masterpiece with me"
Stunning film score at the end. This is film can only be described as exquisite. You can pre-order on amazon and watch it from October 30th 2020.
