Her characters do not burn their bridges, do not run from problems and, in the process, attain awareness of their own limits or emotional addictions. Heritage, a satirical story about the family, still the basic unit of social life, is a film, which seems to ask whether emancipated, independent, modern Norwegians still need family relationships? A 54-year-old widower bequeaths his property to his family only if they manage to jointly run his company. Otherwise, the tremendous wealth will go to charity. Greed compels them into to a difficult coexistence, revealing smouldering hidden conflicts, antipathies as well as fondness. The ominous inheritance changes family lives, reveals secrets, agitates them, and opens opportunities for new dynamics. |
