COLD LUNCH
There is hope, but not for many of us.
Cold Lunch is a multi-plot drama about five people who all live in the same neighbourhood
at Majorstua in Oslo. While Christer is down in the basement laundry room, he suddenly
remember he's got his houserent money in the shirt pocket. In an attempt to save the money,
he disconnects the main fuse in order to stop the washing machine. As the caretaker puts in a
new fuse, an old man is fumbling with the fuses in a fusebox upstairs and dies instantly. His
daughter, Leni is now alone for the first time in her life. As the fresh mother Heidi is in the
washroom to get her laundry, she discovers that the machines have stopped. She is in a hurry,
and has to bring with her the wet clothes. Without being aware of it, Christer has set unavoidable
processes in motion.
Eva Sørhaug (1971) graduated as director from the Academy of Art College
(MFA) in San Francisco, California in 1999. She has also been a guest student
at Dramatiska Institutet in Sweden. Cold Lunch is her first feature film after having
directed several short films since 2000.
