THE DRAMA

The Drama (2026)

Written & Directed by: Kristoffer Borgli

When a mirror falls to the ground, it shatters into small pieces. Eager to fix it, you pick up the broken parts.

The edges are too sharp, leaving wounds behind. Painful as it may seem, you continue to put the pieces together, trying to make it whole again.

While it’s never going to be the same, you are able to see the mirror anew as a form of reflection. Do you like what you see, or do you let go?

It sounds dramatic, but the film deals with a lot of shattering pain. So many times, you just want to quit for instant relief. You ask yourself why it has to happen.

The scenes are mostly shown in fragments, both the good and the bad. You can’t be prepared for which ones will bring joy or tears. They ought to come together. When there’s love, there’s pain.

The way they talk feels raw and real. There’s a tendency to nitpick certain issues while avoiding others that also matter. There’s a gap between thought and action, but it seldom gets resolved.

Their conversations could go deeper, but the further they go, the more hurtful it gets. What remains are pieces of information and emotion. While the journey is already hard to witness, the ending hits harder—shooting you straight to the heart.

This is never just an act of drama. Nobody gets to belittle the pain. No one deserves to be tormented by the broken parts—especially when the whole is worth more than the pieces.

Everyone deserves to get past the drama.

And this film gives you that chance.
