After her mother’s apparent suicide on the eve of Christmas, 15-year-old Vilde finds herself completely alone. In the wake of tragedy, she is forced to contact a father she’s never known, but receives no reply. As social services tries to keep track of her, Vilde wanders the streets of Oslo, creating a desperate plan to run away to Tokyo and putting herself in danger in the process. Meanwhile, Vilde’s father prepares for Christmas with his wife and other children. Wracked with guilt from his past mistakes, he grapples with what to do with his estranged daughter’s voicemail. A heartbreaking story full of beauty and imagination, HARAJUKU is a captivating and layered cinematic experience. Not only does HARAJUKU effectively depict a young woman struggling to pick up the pieces, but also it captures a complex father-daughter relationship and explores the effects of estrangement on both parent and child. (In Norwegian with subtitles) —G.S.
