Spillefilm Håndtering av udøde
(Handling the Undead)

Handling the Undead is set in Oslo, Norway, and explores what happens when a set of people suddenly awakens from death - three stories intervowen, exploring loss, grief and mortality – but also love and hope. The film is a drama with a horror premiss that deals with fundamental human emotions and the pursuit of understanding and accepting what we cannot control.

Handling the Undead is written by award-winning author John Ajvide Lindqvist (Border – Cannes winner 2018, Let the Right One In) and directed by Thea Hvistendahl who has directed several award winning shorts and the hybrid music film featuring Karpe, Goodbye Montebello in 2018.
