About Sentimental Value: "After the death of their mother Sissel, the estranged sisters Nora and Agnes Borg are forced to confront their distant father Gustav, a once-famous but now almost forgotten film director who abandoned the family when the girls were still young; Nora, now a driven stage actress, has prioritized her career above all else, while Agnes chose a stable life with a husband, child, and secure job—creating a stark contrast that further strains their relationship. Gustav, convinced that an autobiographical screenplay he's written will be his ticket back to fame, wants to tell the story of his mother, who took her own life in the family home in Norway—a place still partially owned by him and haunted by the trauma she endured from Nazi torture during the war. He offers the lead role to Nora, but she firmly refuses, prompting him to cast Hollywood actress Rachel Kemp instead, whom he met during a retrospective of his films in France. As filming begins, Gustav seizes the opportunity not only to revive his artistic legacy but also to mend the deeply fractured relationships with his daughters."
