Afterglow (Season 1)

Afterglow (Ettergløde, 2022) is a Norwegian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Ester is in her forties when the diagnosis comes: cancer. She processes it fast. Her decision is to live the time she has as fully as possible.

That turns out to be harder for the people around her. Her husband, her children, her close friends all love her in ways that don't know what to do with her urgency. Director Atle Knudsen stays close to that gap. Nina Ellen Ødegård leads; Hermann Sabado, Sara Korami, and Per Kjærstad Andersen play the people trying to keep up. This is the kind of drama where no one is a villain — just people learning, too slowly, how to say things out loud. Stream Afterglow (2022) online on iFILM.
