With a post screening conversation with writer/director Dag Johan Haugerud moderated by film critic and columnist Justin Chang!
Johanne falls in love for the first time, with her teacher. To preserve her feelings, she documents her emotions and experiences in writing. When her mother and grandmother read what she has written, they are initially shocked by its intimate content but soon see that it has literary potential. As they debate whether to publish it, Johanne navigates the gap between her romantic fantasy and reality, and all three women confront their differing views on love, sexuality, and self-discovery.
“An intensely compelling story about first love—poignant, witty and brilliant—as insightful as it is beautifully directed and performed. One of the few films everyone on the Berlin Film Festival jury agreed on… so we gave it the biggest prize!”
– Todd Haynes, filmmaker
“It sweeps you up, assuredly and indeed dreamily… The film’s precise juxtapositions of sight and sound produce brilliant flashes of insight…and a cumulatively seductive, almost musical flow.”
– Justin Chang, The New Yorker
