Happy, Happy (***1/4)

Couples living next door face the hard truths of their relationships in rural Norway. One pair, the more sophisticated of the two, have just relocated, but it’s Kaya (Agnes Kittelsen), the wife in the other couple, who unwittingly instigates things with a social invitation. Isn’t she gorgeous, Kaya says to her husband. But does this reflect security or merely doubt about her own sexual attractiveness? Slightly quirky (a men’s vocal quartet introduces each segment of the story), slightly comedic, and slightly unsettling (Kaya’s young son plays master and slave with the other couple’s boy, who was adopted from Africa), the drama never gets too heavy, but satisfyingly shuffles the deck on its characters’ lives.
