WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
It is a year of ethnic cleansing. War, written by Lars Norén, is the story of a mother and her two daughters, their father missing and presumed dead, think only of survival. When the father returns unexpectedly, they must confront a world gone completely wrong. Through this simple family tale, Norén creates a powerful human statement that becomes, through the use of multiple casts, a history of genocide in our century. Anders Cato directs.
