We could have told you that this is yet another ordinary story about a woman getting cancer. But Ester Sand is no ordinary woman. She’s the type of person everybody expects to live forever - simply because they cannot imagine a life without her. And yet, on her fortieth birthday, she receives the news that will turn her world upside down. She ́s got cervical cancer, and it could go either way. But after the initial shock, it is Ester who comforts the people in her life: her husband, her children, her father, her friends. She has no intention of leaving the world just yet. This is no time to die; it’s a time to LIVE! Selected for Competition at this year’s CanneSeries, AFTERGLOW is destined to make you laugh and cry in equal measure. The series has been created by Kjetil Indregard and Atle Knudsen, who recently teamed up for Netflix Original “Bloodride” (2020) and directed by Atle Knudsen. AFTERGLOW is something as rare as an uplifting story about a fatal illness. The series stars an acclaimed cast; Ninna Ellen Ødegaard (Possession, 2021), Torbjørn Harr (Vikings, 2013), Sara Khorami (Witch Hunt, 2020) and Hermann Sabado (Home for Christmas, 2020).     We could have told you that this is yet another ordinary story about a woman getting cancer.
