Set in Norway, Lykke Til is a story about struggling in a foreign land. Ann, who has moved to Norway, is facing obstacles on multiple fronts: visa, employment, cultural differences, racism and an unexpected pregnancy, which puts her relationship with her girlfriend in jeopardy, another secret hovering over the already strained relationship with her mother. Instead of trying to simply stay afloat, the worst person in the world now has to make a decision and reclaim her life.

Juror's Comment
The director, after moving to Norway, has acquired a Scandinavian sense of humour. With a generic plot, the work expresses the hardship of a stranger with a unique sense of vision. (Kok Rui Lau)
