Don't Call Me Mom

A Norwegian psychological drama (original title "Se meg") directed by Nina Knag from 2025. Eva, a forty-eight-year-old beloved high school teacher and wife of the mayor of a picturesque Norwegian town, volunteers at an asylum centre to support her husband's election campaign. There she meets Amir, an eighteen-year-old refugee with poetic talent. Captivated by his gift, Eva offers him support and even invites him into their home. As her marriage enters crisis, Eva and Amir grow dangerously close. A secret relationship develops between them, with potentially devastating consequences for both. The film explores privilege, power, and cynical selfishness masquerading as self-sacrifice. The film was screened in the main competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2025, where lead actress Pia Tjelta won the Prize for Female Acting. Cast: Pia Tjelta, Tarek Zayat, Kristoffer Joner, Kathrine Thorborg Johansen. The screening is part of the Matinée Edison Filmhub programme — an afternoon film experience at a discounted price.
