Runner´s right

Fiction, Norway, 2022, 18:20, Nordic

What happens when two polar opposites have to live side by side in the same city? Through a cinematic essay, the urban jogger as a phenomenon is explored through the eyes of the flâneur.

In a reflective vest and fast running shoes, the jogger takes over the city. Other residents must step aside. The city's built-in, contemplative rhythm is disrupted. As an attempt to dig deeper and understand this behavior, the flâneur finds herself wondering: What are they running towards? What are they running from? And is running, after all, rooted in the fear of death?
