Aberdeen is a 2000 Norwegian-British drama film directed by Hans Petter Moland, starring Stellan Skarsgård, Lena Headey and Charlotte Rampling.
Synopsis
Lena Headey stars as Kaisa, a young lawyer, just promoted, who has no apparent emotional attachments, prefers nameless encounters with men, and is surprised to receive a call from her dying mother (Charlotte Rampling) with a final request to bring her estranged father (Stellan Skarsgård) to the hospital. The film is a bit of a road movie with encounters along the way, some confrontational, such as boozing louts who harass her father or angry stewardesses issuing ultimatums, while some are romantic, such as a truck driver (Ian Hart) Kaisa attempts to use, but instead finds herself attached to. What started as an unavoidable chore, perhaps the last she'd never be able to dodge, becomes a new starting point in her life.
