Autumn Sonata

Autumn Sonata centres on a celebrated concert pianist who is confronted by her emotionally neglected daughter when they reunite after years of separation. The intimate drama explores family bonds, artistic ambition, and unresolved resentment through intense, character-driven encounters. Although set largely indoors, the film was shot in Norway, with locations in Oslo and on Otrøya, providing a quiet, restrained backdrop that supports the film’s psychological focus.
