A unique view of rural Norwegian life

A quaint and subtle story about the friendship between two aging men.

Kitchen Stories is based on actual Swedish studies that analyzed women\'s kitchen routines in the 1950s, in order to improve housework techniques. But this time, a team of Swedish researchers converge on a small village in rural Norway, to observe the kitchen habits of bachelors. The rules are strict, there must be no communication between the scientists and volunteers. But when the grumpy Isaac (Joachim Calmeyer), becomes the subject for Folke (Tomas Nordstrom), interaction is inevitable. Bent Hamer has written and directed an original, intimate tale,perfectly interpreted by actors, Calmeyer and Nordstrom - who are cheeky and loveable in their roles. Kitchen Stories is a unique view of rural Norwegian life in the 50s that proves that even in the most absurd situations, remarkable connections can be found.
