Description
It all began in the fall of 1993, when four young wo-men – Petra, Therese, Solvår, and Dagny – met at a renowned drama school outside of Oslo, dreaming of art, meaning, and a place in the world.
Only one of them would go on to become an actress, but their bond would last a lifetime.
The Frontline takes place thirty years later, as the friends prepare for their annual pre-Christmas reunion. Dagny – a survivor of a difficult childhood, now a childless doctor – faces a demanding day at the hospital. When a severely injured six-year-old is rushed in, she’s forced to confront memories she thought she had maste-red – as well as the lingering question of how we become the people we are.
