Nordic Film Series to present Norwegian film Apr. 10

HANCOCK -- The Finlandia University Nordic Film Series continues Thursday, Apr. 10, with the Norwegian film Elling. Showings will begin at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy Street, Hancock.

After two years in a psychiatric hospital, Elling and his somewhat denser roommate, Kjell Bjarne, return to the so-called real world. As their confidence grows, they find unusual ways to cope with society; and they strike up the most peculiar friendships in the most unlikely places.

Elling, released in 2002, won multiple international film awards. It was an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film.

The film is in Norwegian with English subtitles. It is unrated. If you have questions about its content or need more information, please call 906-487-7302.
