Hightschool girl who meets her mother just on a train.
Women and the Guards
The film is a philosophical essay about the woman prisoner, the victim of traditional and Islamitic laws and the prison guard, representing Western democracy, with both in the paradoxical situation that a progressively run prison may just be the best and safest place for an abandoned woman in contemporary Afghanistan
Living for the Dream
Four 'thirty-something' Swedish working women long for lives that are better, more real. About the nature of work, recreation and dreams.
I'm Coming Back For Real
The Man with 150. 000 USD Prize on his Head
A portrait of Lars Vilks, a Swedish artist of Latvian ancestry, a university professor, a sculptor, provocateur, scandal-maker and State Secretary of his own micro-nation of LADONIA and lecturer on art theory in Sweden. He is the only Swede and the only Latvian to have a price of $ 100 000 put on his head. But perhaps his creative and intellectual powers are worth much more?
