Petter Næss
Gala Premieres
Kasper's life is proceeding in an orderly fashion: the 40-year-old successful stand-up comedian gets regular gigs at the city's most prestigious comedy club, and enjoys a happy relationship with his girlfriend. But his entire life changes on one single day: not only is his show cancelled, but he also has to deal with a devastating diagnosis from his doctor: bone cancer. Before he even gets the chance to tell his girlfriend about his illness, she’s gone. Now left to cope with a complete mess, Kasper must ask himself: give up or fight on? Norwegian director Petter Næss stages the utterly charming, heart-warming and humorous story of a man who sets out to rediscover his laughter.
