NOR26 The Pension Heist

Directed and co-written by Gunnbjörg Gunnarsdottir, The Pension Heist is a highly amusing action comedy about three unlikely women who, after being pushed to the margins of society, set out to pull off the seemingly impossible task of stealing from the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. After 40 years as a loyal housewife, 65-year-old Annema (Hege Schøyen) discovers that her husband, Arne, has been unfaithful. Caught up in the aftermath of discovering his affair, she learns that he is also kicking her out. Desperate for money she teams up with her two equally broke friends, Nina (Anette Hoff, Pernille), who recently lost her job for being too old and Mona (Anne Marie Ottersen, Nothing to Laugh About), who needs money for a crucial operation. Together the three of them decide to take matters into their own hands and concoct an audacious plan to rob the Norwegian Oil Fund, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. Blending social commentary with action, suspense and entertaining comedy, this fun Robin Hood-esque tale will have you cheering for the underdogs in the robbery of the century!
