Synopsis:

Georg lives with his mother Veronika in Oslo. On his eighteenth birthday, he receives a thick letter which his father wrote just before he died, when Georg was only six years old. On the same day, Georg is going to the mountains, equipped with skis and telescope, in order to photograph a rare celestial phenomenon. He is ambivalent concerning his father's letter, and has repressed his memories of him. Still, he brings the letter with him. On the train to the mountains, he meets Stella, of the same age as him. In the letter, his father asks Georg a fundamental existential question: What's the point of living when we're going to die anyway, maybe even when life is at its best? Would you want to be born if you had a choice? But before Georg is allowed to answer, his father wants to tell him a story about the Orange Girl he met in 1982.

On his deathbed Georg's father writes a letter to his then four-year-old, telling him about a mysterious girl, carrying a bag of oranges, whom he sees for the first time in 1982. He sets out to find her, when he does, she disappears again. His search ends in Seville, under the trees. In the letter he asks Georg, now 18, a basic question, to which Georg knows he must find his own personal answer.
