Although Jill will turn only 14 in just a few days, she is the one holding her family together. Her mother, Astrid, spends her time sleeping off a drunken stupor or passionately creating works of art at the kitchen table or in her basement studio. When the prospect of a promising new job at an art museum falls in her lap, all Astrid needs to do is show up and the position is hers. A new beginning would bring much needed stability to the family, relieving Jill from shouldering all the responsibility of maintaining the household and looking out for her mother and younger brother, Bo. But when Jill learns her father, a traveling musician, is coming in town to celebrate her birthday, Astrid’s high spirits take a dangerous turn. PHOENIX, a story of an eerie secret and a young girl’s fierce protection over her crumbling homelife, depicts the grit of a child forced to grow up too soon. (In Norwegian with subtitles) —A.B.
