Review of O'Horten

Odd Horton has reached the end of the line. His entire life was devoted to safely guiding his trains and their passengers to their destinations. One last celebration with his peers who honor him at his retirement, then what? A man of few words, but with much warmth and compassion, Horten has spent a lifetime without quite knowing what it was all for. Now that he will no longer be needed at work, what does he have to live for? Aside from a senile mother in a retirement home, there is no family. In a span of just 2 days, Horten encounters similarly lost souls, desperate to strike up friendships, the experience of which may at first leave Horten shaken and upset, but eventually lead to a most satisfying conclusion. An enchanting little film set in cold and snowy Oslo that will warm your heart and renew your spirit!
