Blind Spot (2018 film)
2018 film directed by Tuva Novotny
Blind Spot (Norwegian: Blindsone) is a 2018 Norwegian drama film directed and written by Tuva Novotny. It was one of three films shortlisted to be the Norwegian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 91st Academy Awards.
Filmed in one shot, Blind Spot tells the story of a mother who struggles to come to terms with her daughter's mental illness, revealed to be far worse than she had realised.
Plot
The film opens as Thea leaves a handball practice with a friend. She arrives at home where her mother, Marie, is putting her younger brother to bed. Thea makes a phone call to her father, Anders, but he does not answer. She then enters her bedroom, makes an entry to her diary, and jumps out the window (which is on the 4th floor of an apartment building). Marie quickly realizes what has happened and rushes out. She finds Thea badly injured from the fall and screams for help. Her father and mother in law, Hasse and Mona, happen to be close by and come to her aid.
