Second Half is a comedy about the big questions everyone ponders in life, and about the way
men have a tendency to talk about football instead.
Erik considers leaving his wife and children for his somewhat younger lover Kaja. Sverre
reluctantly has to participate in swinging in an attempt to boost a relationship that has gone
dull. Their father visits his beloved – but senile – wife every week, and has started wondering
if there wasn't anything more to life.
The father and his two sons meet every Sunday, but all they talk about is soccer – and the
fear that their favourite team Skeid would have to move down one division.
With Second Half, Hilde Heier directs her third feature film. She hit her audience
at home with the feature film The Prompter, which was her debut as feature
film director, and she also noted for her horror film for children The Beast of
Beauty (2003). She wrote the scripts for both films. Hilde was educated as a director
at New York University, and has later alternated between working as an
actress, screenwriter and director.
