Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rare 1960s Danish cinema tackling mental health with nuance rather than exploitation. Hovmand was one of few female directors working in Nordic cinema at the time.
Ingrid Tholin filmed this between her Bergman collaborations, bringing that same emotionally devastating precision to a far smaller production.
