Daughters

dir. Jenifer Malmqvist / 2022 / Sweden / 90min.
Three Girls have moved on with their lives, but all have struggled in their own ways to cope with their loss of mother who committed suicide

Sofia, Hedvig and Maja grew up together on the countryside in Southern Sweden with their mom Carolina – a radiant personality and a devoted mother. In 2010 Carolina took her own life.

That day, Hedvig turned 10 years old. Maja found Carolina first. Sofia only remembers that everyone kept her from looking through the windows. Left behind were three girls: 8, 10 and 16 years old. Today, they are young adults. They have moved on with their lives, but all have struggled in their own ways to cope with their loss.
