November, 1999. Following the death of his wife, 67-year-old Trond Sander has retired from Oslo to a small village in the east of Norway. The millennium is coming to an end, and so too it would appear is Trond’s life. One winter night he suddenly recognises an old acquaintance from his youth in his neighbour, Lars. The encounter brings back memories of 1948 when Trond spent an entire summer in a simple wooden hut by the river with his much-admired father. Long afternoons in the forest, rides on wild horses and hard work felling wood begin to blur into a series of images of carefree happiness but also fateful experiences. (Berlinale)

Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland has made a melancholy film that takes place in the very bosom of the beautiful Nordic nature. An aged man, played by the great Stellan Skarsgård, sadly recalls a long-ago summer adventure that quite dramatically influenced his future direction in life. I am thrilled to have seen a beautiful film again after a long time, during which I had no idea what would happen next. To make matters worse, Out Stealing Horses also provided me with a sudden epiphany - "We decide when it hurts." (90%)
