**FREE** Q&Awards: SENTIMENTAL VALUE

Sponsored by NEON

From award-winning filmmaker Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World), Sentimental Value follows sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) as they reconnect with their estranged father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgärd), a once-celebrated director eager to reclaim his former glory. When Gustav offers Nora the lead role in his long-awaited comeback film, she refuses, only to learn that he has given the part to a rising Hollywood star (Elle Fanning). As shooting begins, old wounds resurface, and the presence of the American star forces the family to confront their fragile family dynamics. (Description by NEON)
