Wikipedia article
'Skjr i sjen' (Obstacles) is a Norwegian romantic drama film from 1965 directed by Knut Andersen. The film is about an aging author that has retired to a deserted place in Southern Norway. He is divorced and burdened by his own problems. When his cheerful teenage daughter and two of her friends come to visit, the spark gradually returns to his life. The main roles are played by Henki Kolstad, Tone Danielsen, Solfrid Heier, and Kai Remlov. It is based on Arthur Omre's short story "Sensommer" (Indian Summer).
Plot
The aging and divorced author Johannes Mrk relives youth's intoxicating infatuation when his teenage daughter Eva, together with two young friends, sweeps into his lazy southern idyll. Mrk has long revolved around his own problems and guilt over his failed marriage. He has unconsciously been about to stagnate into a dull habit and just let old age come. Lone, one of his daughter's girlfriends, makes a strong impression on him, and soon something begins to develop between them. Both the eccentric and the dour person in him have begun to stand out, but with his daughter's girlfriend in his focus, new feelings awaken in Johannes Mrk. This awakening leads him to resume his relationship with his ex-wife. This also affects his daughter Eva, who has been afraid to commit because she is the child of a divorce.
