Daughters (Döttrar)

Intimate, empathetic and highly affecting, Daughters sensitively depicts the experiences of three siblings grieving their mother’s tragic death by suicide. Told through observations into their individual lives and profound conversations between the two, they share memories of their mother and give moving insights into their trauma. Filmed by director Jennifer Malmqvist over a ten-year period, this fierce commitment to story and subject is evidenced on-screen in a truly special, and ultimately uplifting, film about familial love and the ties that bind.
