“Gone with the Woman” is the story of He, a male who hasn’t even got a name. And, without him fully grasping how it comes about, his life is invaded by a woman. From this point on, he struggles to tackle the situation; He could try to throw out the invader, or try to adjust to the circumstances. He opts for the second alternative, and decides to fall deeply in love. As He himself puts it: “I will start already by tomorrow”. It’s a sincere, although somewhat naive project. But she already has this little grip on him, she is a small step ahead. And He is behind her. Only a few seconds, a few lines, but still behind – in his life. He passes from being invaded to being in love to being left behind. And exactly when He is about to forget her – she returns.

Director Petter Næss, born in 1960, has worked as an actor, playwright and director for theatre and show. In 1977 he directed the staging „Elling and Kjell Bjarne“ at the New Oslo Theatre. „Elling“ is Petter Næss’ second feature film. His first feature, „Absolute Hangover“ (1999), won an Amanda for Best Actress and Best Actor in 1999.
