Jun Fosse is a distinguished Norwegian writer and playwright, winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize "For innovative plays and prose that give voice to the inexpressible," winner of the Nordic Council Prize and the theater equivalent of the Nobel Prize, the International Ibsen Prize, and a nominee for the 2020 and 2022 International Booker Prize.
"It's better for my plays when the emotions of the characters are covered with a tight lid - and simmering under that lid." Artist Asle lives in Dulgue. Mostly he only interacts with his neighbor, the single fisherman Asleik. Once in a while he has conversations with another artist suffering from alcohol addiction, also named Asle. The two Asleys are friends and in a way represent two versions of the same life. On Christmas Eve, one of them finds the other in a snowdrift. After saving his comrade from a cold death, the hero remembers the past and begins to look at friendship, faith, and creativity in a new way. "...I try to see why, in fact, I continue to write paintings, and more and more deeply immersed in what I see, in what is probably larger than life, but there is no suitable way to express it in words ..." "something lives in a painting and silently speaks out of it, sometimes just one stroke is enough - and the painting begins to speak..."
