How We Have Loved

Sara Parkman has, through her very unique expressions revolutionized Swedish folk music and her album Vesper proves a big breakthrough. Yet, there's something about this sucess tale that doesn't feel quite right. The devotion to art can make you feel alone, because as the fire burns strong it also hurts. Now we meet the person behind Sara Parkman's strong stage persona, as a new album begins to take shape based on a topic Sara has long avoided – love.

Miniatyrmakaren – en film om Niki Lindroth von Bahr

Tiny cornflake boxes with precise proportions, absurd everyday humor, and melancholic animals are some of the things that characterize the miniature maker Niki Lindroth von Bahr. The Guldbagge Award-winning Min börda led to success and recognition. Now she has won so many awards that they no longer fit on the shelves at home. In Joanna Karlberg and Tove Palén’s documentary, we get to enter the model studio and witness everyday situations that are transformed into great art in a small format.

Live Till I Die

‍At Kyrkbyn, an elderly home on the outskirts of Stockholm, many of the residents will soon turn 100 years old. Wheelchaired or with very low mobility, some of them didn’t even know each other’s names until an activity coach was hired to break this solitude. With no nursing education but with personality and a bunch of ideas, Monica reawakens their youthful spirits, turning them into a playful gang who are always ready to crack an unexpected joke or participate in spa sessions, boxing lessons and themed dinners.

2gether

Kim has long wanted to make a film about his brother and his brother’s girlfriend – the former “Ex on the Beach” particpants Hampus and Olivia. But in the middle of recording they break up, the film is forced in completely different directions, and it instead turns into a poetic meta-narrative in which Kim’s dreamlike cinematic language tells the story of love and separtion.
