Involuntary Self-Isolation: Stranded On a Desert Island in “Sweetheart”
Sweetheart provides a stark example of self-isolation taken to its extreme.

ANDA is a visually haunting and lyrical feature film that blends Nordic folklore with surrealist storytelling and modern themes. The film follows an elderly woman whose mother returns-decades younger than expected. Her search for answers pulls her into a dreamlike realm where myth and reality entwine. As she unearths long-buried secrets, she must carefully navigate the brittle boundary between inheritance and freedom, confronting the cost of power and the illusions of love. Through the intimate lens of a mother-daughter relationship, ANDA explores the longing for youth, desire, and the enduring myths we live by
