DAUGHTERS

Denmark, Sweden 2022 – Director: Jenifer Malmqvist – Original language: Swedish – Subtitles: English, None

For over ten years, the director Malmqvist has observed and listened to her protagonists as they grieve, remember, reflect on their trauma and speak about the unspeakable: the suicide of a parent.
