Synopsis
Troubled Water (DeUsynlige, 2008), directed by Erik Poppe, is a Norwegian drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring Pål Sverre Hagen and Trine Dyrholm. Thomas leaves prison — he served time for a child's death. Exactly what happened that day is information the film withholds deliberately.
He picks up work as a church organist, builds something careful with a young female pastor named Anne and her son, and the ground starts to feel solid. Then the dead boy's mother finds out where he is. Hagen plays Thomas with the specific exhaustion of someone who has run out of ways to outrun himself. Dyrholm plays the other side of the story — a woman who cannot will herself toward letting go — and she is the film's sharpest edge. Poppe is less interested in whether Thomas deserves a new start than in what it costs the people around him either way. Stream Troubled Water online on iFILM.
