Oslo, August 31st

“Live today, one minute at a time.”

It is the last day of August in Oslo, and Anders (Anders Danielsen Lie), a recovering drug addict, is let out of his rehab center for one day to attend a job interview in the city. Joachim Trier follows him through the hours that follow as he looks up old friends and walks past places he once knew. Anders is thirty-four and clean, and he cannot say what he wants his life to be.
