Rugged, but incredibly charming Are You Leaving Already? is a heart-warming drama-comedy that never ceases to surprise.

Elin is leaving a messy period behind her when she moves into a shabby apartment that her absent father got for her. When she decides to paint the walls she meets two clumsy handymen, who like her find themselves at the margin of society. When both handymen realize that there is more than the walls that requires attention in the apartment, an odd and unexpected relationship arises that becomes greatly important for all involved. The Norwegian Dogma-director Mona Johanne Hoel (Cabin Fever, GFF 2001) returns to the feature film format with an entirely unique and natural tone, and with a film that truly warms you up.

"Are you leaving already?" marks a very happy comeback for the feature film director Mona Johanne Hoel. With this heart-warming drama comedy that never stops surprising us, she reencounters the rough and energetic expression that made her internationally recognised in the 00’s with dogma nr. 19, 'Cabin Fever'/Når nettene blir lange' that was nominated for the Chrystal Globe in Karlovy Vary international filmfestival, was Case Study at TIFF, opened the Gothenburg International Filmfestival.
