A young, religious student, moves to Oslo to attend university. As she tries to deny her feelings for a female friend, she suffers from a number of powerful seizures, and it’s not long before she begins to realise that her condition is caused by a mystery supernatural ability.

With an electrifying romance at its heart, Thelma plunges deep into its titular character’s soul to unleash long suppressed demons. Exquisitely blending the supernatural with the psychological, Trier has concocted a slow-burning Scandi update of De Palma’s Carrie likely to take your breath away.
