Myself, I am no longer living

Norwegian title: Jeg lever ikke lenger selv

Hovda Kristine

The pin code for the credit card of fifteen-year-old Kristine is 6220. The numbers represent verse 20 of the second chapter of Galatians in the New Testament of the Bible. "I am crucified with Christ. I no longer live a life alone. Christ lives in me.", the Apostle Paul writes. This is a sentence that Kristine takes literally. Twenty years later we find journalist and musician Kristine Hovda at the beach of Ogna, the same place where she was baptized as a teenager. She wonders if she can ever use anything of the things she learned about God. Or if she will have to learn how to live on her own.
