El camarero

The Hills is the most appreciated restaurant in Oslo, an institution cooked on the basis of traditions and in which the aromas of the old European grandeur continue to be smelled. In it, a finicky and perfectionist waiter goes out of his way to cater to the wishes of his clientele. Aristocrats, artists, wealthy widows, and entrepreneurs, they all ignore his presence as he watches his dramas with a wit as sharp as one of the knives with which he cuts steaks. And suddenly, an unknown woman walks into the restaurant and shakes these solid foundations. Who is she? What does she want? Spiced with Matias Faldbakken's keen sense of portraiture and staging, this delightful allegory of our times exudes satire from every pore.
