The plot “follows four children who become friends during the summer holidays. Out of sight of the adults, they discover they have hidden powers. While exploring their newfound abilities in the nearby forests and playgrounds, their innocent play takes a dark turn and strange things begin to happen.”
The Innocents marks the second feature from Vogt, who is also the writing partner of Joachim Trier, both of whom are now Academy Award-nominated for The Worst Person in the World and previously collaborated on supernatural thriller Thelma.
The film stars Rakel Fløttum, Alva Ramstad, Ismail Ashraf, Mina Asheim and Ellen Dorrit Petersen.
