“It’s a heavy story, but I had promised to tell it,” says
director Margreth Olin. She was awarded a Dragon Award for best Nordic Film –
Audience’s choice at the Dragon Awards Gala.
The movie, based on reality, tells the story of Lea – a
heroin addict – and her alcoholic mother. Ms. Olin tackles complex family
dynamics and raises those kinds of questions that are uncomfortable but
inevitable in life: What is love? What is the best way to raise a child?
I was deeply moved after seeing the film and attending a
discussion earlier in the week and can only thank Ms. Olin for telling this
important story.
