​

Conversations on a Boat is a sensuous, dialogue-driven short film. Two women in their mid-50s meet on a boat in the Oslofjord, where an apparently calm reunion gradually reveals a complex relationship marked by desire, longing, and unresolved love. The film explores time, aging, and the freedom that emerges after midlife. It is a tender, unapologetic celebration of queer intimacy in adulthood.
