O’ Horten
O’ Horten · dir. Bent Hamer
France, Germany, Norway 2007, 90’

Odd Horten has spent his entire adult life working as an engine driver on the route from Oslo to Bergen. He is soon going into well-deserved retirement. Shortly before entering the cabin of a railway engine for the very last time, a strange coincidence prevents him from coming to work on time, thus failing to complete his last drive. Horten finds it difficult to adapt to the new situation. He must learn to live as a pensioner and start enjoying his life again.
O' Horten is a melancholic comedy about a mature man and his problems, full of absurd sense of humour and warmth.
