Onkel Jens

Til tross for den lille plassen i bokollektivet, føler Akam seg forpliktet til å tilby husrom for et par netter. Den ubeskjedne onkelen tar seg fort til rette, og snart blir det tydelig at han ikke har planer om å reise hjem i nærmeste fremtid. Akam begynner å ane ugler i mosen – er det noe mer bak onkelens spontane besøk? Sannheten kan få uante konsekvenser for dem begge.

Filmen hadde sin verdenspremiere i mars 2025 på filmfestivalen South By Southwest i Austin, Texas.

ENGLISH:

Akam, a teacher, lives a comfortable life in Oslo — until his uncle from Iran shows up unannounced. Despite the lack of space in his shared apartment, Akam feels obligated to offer him to stay a few nights. The presumptuous uncle quickly makes himself at home, and it soon becomes clear that he has no intention of leaving. Akam begins to suspect that something is off — could there be more to his uncle’s sudden visit? The truth may have unforeseen consequences for them both.
