1001 Grams
Brussels Film Festival | Panorama Masters
Bent Hamer shifts his focus to Marie, workaholic scientist whose life is rigorously controlled she devotes her life to measurements. The pride of the institute where she works is a perfect kilogram weight, a model for all measurements in the country, which Marie is supposed to take to a conference in France. When a family emergency jolts Marie even further out of her element, she finds herself introduced to whole new worlds creating a gradual emotional awakening. While in Paris, she begins to measure her own feelings of love, grief and disappoint on the scales of human emotion.
