Unanswered Call

For the Youth Just under a month after the terrorist attacks of 22 July, Rebekka is about to start upper secondary school. She didn’t know any of those who died, and thinks she should be able to get back to everyday life. She tries to throw herself into the school revue, Daniel with the curly hair, parties, school and friends. The only problem is that she can’t stop thinking about it. Ubesvart anrop (Missed Call) is about searching for meaning in the face of the meaningless. About how difficult it can be to reach out to one another, and how important it is when we manage to do so. It is also a story about friendships that endure, and about finding a way back.
