Mina is a young single mother living in Oslo with her 6 year old son Felix. She is an Norwegian Pakistani with a troublesome relationship with her family. Read more …
Mina is constantly looking for love and has relations to different men, however none of the relationships bearing any hope of lasting very long. So when Mina meets Jesper, a Swedish film director, she falls head over heals in love.
An uncompromising portrait of this conflicted young woman.
Acharia – who’ll be known to some viewers from her role in Game of Thrones – is the real draw here, keeping Mina absolutely watchable and appealing, even when her behaviour becomes something of a repetitive cycle.
Difficult to watch but that’s the point.
Delicately etched.
