My First Love

Directed by Mari Storstein

With Marie Flaatten, Niels Halstensen Skåber, Silje Breivik, Jan Gunnar Røise and Haakon Johannes Kjølberg Hauge

At 19, Ella is ready to begin her adult life on her own terms. Born with a disability and having always used a wheelchair, she dreams of moving into her first apartment when she leaves home to study. Instead, a denied application for assistance forces her into an institution – a crushing blow to her long-awaited independence. Just as the walls of bureaucracy close in, Ella experiences something entirely new: her first love.
