Armand de Halfdan Ullmann Tondel, Caméra d'Or of the Cannes Film Festival 2024

An incident occurs at an elementary school. The parents of young Armand and Jon are summoned by the management. Everyone struggles to explain what really happened. The children's stories clash, their points of view clash, and the adults' certainties are shaken...

This is the story behindArmand, the new film by young Norwegian director Halfdan Ullmann Tondel - none other than the grandson of Liv Ullman, one of Ingmar Bergman's favorite actresses. Presented in the Un Certain Regard selection at the Cannes Festival 2024, Armand is also in contention for the Caméra d'Or prize, as this is Halfdan Ullmann Tondel's first feature film.
