Voice

The film follows the Norwegian musician/ composer/ sound artist Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje through the seasons all over Europe, presenting the variety and universalism of her work. Performances, sound recordings, and intimate personal scenes are composed into a complex portrait of an uncompromising artist challenged between conflicting poles of family and vocation. On several levels, a film about an individual’s voice whose vigor and enthusiasm are increasingly passed on to the viewer.
