Travel Alone

1 hr. 34 min. | Drama | N/A

Jarle is a talented student, spending his time on music, sex and Marcel Proust. Jarle is about to find out he has a daughter from a one-night-stand seven years ago. And now she is coming to visit. An atomic bomb of Tamagochis and Princess Diana is going to explode in his face. I Travel Alone is an angry comedy about a young man who doesn't want to grow up – and a touching story about a small girl discovering her father. “At the beginning you laugh. But after a while you notice that there is something that is not so funny. There is sore being opened”, says director Stian Kristiansen.
