Jan-Olav meets the orange girl on an average day. She stands in a tramway, holding a bag of oranges. He falls in love with her on the spot, but she is gone as suddenly as she had appeared to him. Jan-Olav spends months looking for her, until he begins to doubt her actual existence ... Many years later, the young George receives a letter written by Jan-Olav, his late father. It is a farewell letter that tells the tale of a true love that leads all the way to Spain. On a winter trip to the mountains of Norway, Georg delves into his father's life story – until the journey into the past becomes a vision for his own future. With this Norwegian-German-Spanish co-production, Eva Dahr has directed a romantic fairy tale full of poetic imagination – and a moving homage to true love, full of magical moments, after the bestselling novel by Jostein Gaarder. At the same time, this heart-warming love story, set before the backdrop of two generations within one family, touches on philosophical and emotional questions: why do we live, if death is inevitable?
