    • Synopsis
    • "OLMO AND THE SEAGULL" is a dive into a woman's mind during the nine months of her pregnancy. For the past ten years Olivia has been an actress of the famous company “Theatre du Soleil” where she met her boyfriend and companion Serge. Part Italian Diva, part punk rocker, she has been accustomed to being the center of attention throughout her life.

      At the age of 34 things start to change abruptly when she finds out she is pregnant. At first, Olivia and her partner Serge are delighted, but as her health deteriorates and her job in the theatre becomes threatened, she is launched into a deep psychological journey. Forced to confront her inner demons and deep-seated fears, she slowly tries to compose a new philosophy of life and love.

      Freely inspired by Virginia Woolf’s MRS. DALLOWAY, the directors propose a "mis en scene" of the actors lives constantly playing in the border of fiction and reality.

      OLMO AND THE SEAGULL is produced by Charlotte Pedersen from Zentropa Enterteinments, Tiago Pavan from Busca Vida Filmes and Luis Urbano from O Som e A Fúria and executive produced by Tim Robbins.

      Lea Glob directed the short film “Meeting my father Kasper Højhat” and received the Reel Talent Award at CPH:DOX 2013.
