Language:
Norwegian
Run Time:
90 minutes
When a mysterious bouquet of fresh roses shows up on Anita’s doorstep, her evening runs become a bit more guarded. She’s just started a new job as a substitute teacher where she struggles to fit in with her colleagues. Instead, she catches the attention of her student, Markus, whose blatant gestures are inappropriate, yet privately welcomed. Insecure, middle-aged, and lost in a stagnant marriage, Anita knows Markus’s advances should be ignored, but she craves the attention and can’t resist the forbidden temptation. Although her husband is frequently gone on business, his suspicions arise when Anita grows distant and more preoccupied with her phone than their marriage. Anita and Markus’s secret relationship quickly escalates into a heated, erotic romance that evolves into a dangerous fixation. A suspenseful, conflicted drama of shocking twists, AN AFFAIR takes audiences for a ride through a lustful, all-consuming account of jealousy and obsession. (In Norwegian with subtitles) —A.B.
