But just as her big break seems within reach, her personal life begins to falter - her relationship is tested, motherhood demands her full attention, and her career takes unexpected turns. At the same time, the challenges of everyday life become a source of inspiration for her creativity. Director Ellen Fiske (Scheme Birds, 2019; Leaving Jesus, GFF 2024) crafts an intimate and moving portrayal, brought to life by Pia Lehto’s sensitive cinematography, of one of Sweden’s most talked-about comedians in recent years.
