Harajuku (Eirik Svensson)

Vilde is fascinated by Japanese culture and dreams about the Tokyo borough of Harajuku. She hangs out with like-minded friends at Oslo’s Central Station. It’s Christmas, and her mum is in an unusually good mood – but a short while later, Vilde is informed that her mum has committed suicide. She is suddenly in the position of having to contact her biological father and during the space of a few short hours, she’s forced to go through a lot. Vilde’s life takes a turn in a new direction.
