Sisters Nora and Agnes attempt to rebuild their relationship with their father, a charismatic film director who, after a decade of silence, returns with an unexpected proposal: he wants Nora to star in his new film. The acclaimed theater actress, however, responds to her father’s ambitions with a firm refusal: she is still burdened by old grievances and mistrust. When the role goes to a rising Hollywood star, the sisters are forced to untangle their complicated relationship with their father and come to terms with an actress who has intruded into their intimate space.

“This year, the festival will pay special attention to the work of director Joachim Trier. We will present a retrospective of his films, and his latest work, Sentimental Value, will open the Film Spring. Sentimental Value seeks to unravel tangled family relationships, memories, career choices, and fundamentally assess the impact of cinema itself. The film proves once again how much we need one another. Sentimental Value simultaneously opens and closes the wound, moves you to tears and heals you, and in doing so gives us hope to understand each other better.” (Head of the Programme Dovilė Grigaliūnaitė)
