Listen Up!
A summer of secrets, identity, and the ties we can never break
Based on the hit novel Listen Up! by Gulraiz Sharif, first-time director Kaveh Tehrani has created a political comedy with a big heart.
Listen Up! is an energetic, relevant, and entertaining film about Mahmoud (15) and his journey to help his little sibling Ali to start living as Alia. The film is about integration, gender identity, class, and family and takes place during one hot summer holiday in Oslo. It’s full of Mahmoud’s off-beat observations of the Norwegian middle class and the minorities, which are so direct and spot-on that you can’t do anything but laugh along.
