The Orange Girl

Fifteen-year-old Georg Røed discovers a long letter written to him by his father before he died years earlier. The letter tells the romantic story of the mysterious Orange Girl, whom his father met on an Oslo tram. As Georg reads through the narrative, he is drawn into a philosophical mystery that bridges the gap between the past and the present. Together, father and son explore deep questions about life, love, and the universe from across time.
