Section: Days of Swedish Cinema
Directed by: Fredrik Edfeldt
Sweden, 2009, 96 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema 3
Score:
A disturbing poetic study of childhood loneliness. This gently elaborate story is set in the Swedish countryside one summer in the early 1980s. It interestingly portrays those private worlds that children create when they escape from adult supervision. Our not-quite-ten nameless protagonist is a freckled abandoned bird with a somber look. She manages to get away from her unreliable aunt and fends for herself when her parents travel to Africa. The girl is a loner and doesn't care for the superficiality, physical desires and vices she's observed in adults. She feels best in the company of the outcast Ola, with whom she entrusts with her secrets as they play in a hayloft or visit the forests.
