‘You know...

If you look at us on the surface...

There's a lot of chaos.

If you dig deeper...

What you find isn't that good either—

But if you look at us just the right amount—

Not too much—

Not too little—

You'll see

We're alright.’

—from the film Armand (2025), written and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel, in his feature directorial debut, which won the Caméra d'Or for best first feature at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
