Two buddies are taken down different paths in life when one becomes a success and the other fails to grab the brass ring in this
comedy drama.
Erik (
Espen Klouman-Hoiner) and
Phillip (
Anders Danielsen Lie) are close friends who have known each other since they were children.
Erik and
Phillip grew up sharing a passion for literature, particularly the work of novelist
Sten Egil Dahl (
Sigmund Sæverud) and they each dreamed of becoming writers themselves someday. Both
Erik and
Phillip completed their first novels in their early twenties, but while
Phillip's book was accepted by a major publisher and became a best-seller,
Erik's book instead earned a sheaf of rejection slips. The harsh glare of the celebrity lifestyle and his obsessive relationship with his girlfriend,
Kari (
Viktoria Winge), cause
Phillip to suffer a nervous breakdown, and after a stay in a treatment facility he tries to resume his relationship with
Kari and his friendship with
Erik.
Erik, meanwhile, is still struggling to join the ranks of the published, and his romance with
Lillian (
Silje Hagen) begins to fray as the frustrated would-be author spends more time with
Phillip and his pretentious compatriots.
Reprise received its North American premiere at the
2006 Toronto Film Festival.
