Thirst - Crimes of the Future

Thirst is divided into three loosely connected, yet independent short films which together make up a feature film. The three episodes are based on short stories from the turn of the century by Knut Hamsun, but the plots are transposed to the present. The films sub-heading Crimes of the Future, is taken from Hamsuns "Hunger". Each episode focuses on a crime; a cold blooded murder, crime passionnelle, and a fraud with deadly consequences.
