This is my Story

Drama

In Northern Norway during the 1860s, a little girl named Dina accidentally causes her mother's death. Overcome with grief, her father refuses to raise her, leaving her in the care of the household servants. Dina grows up wild and unmanageable, with her only friend being the stable boy, Tomas. She summons her mother's ghost and develops a strange fascination with death as well as a passion for living.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful, yet deeply unsettling period piece. It's a raw exploration of a young woman's psyche, marked by trauma and an unusual fascination with life and death. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken emotions and a sense of foreboding.
