Nina Hedenius

A poetic film on the act of seeing and on the details that rarely get our attention. The film is a collage of diverse scenes depicting life, death, objects and people: a Swedish crayfish party, a classroom, cows in the meadow, the Stockholm subway

Documentary about director and cinematographer Nina Hedenius, who focused on life in the Swedish countryside and created classics such as "The Old Man in the Cottage" (1996). Hedenius was one of the first students at Christer Strömholm's photography school but then dropped out, which was the start of 60 years of persevering film production about life in stillness, vibrant moments and the enchantment of everyday life. Later on she reluctantly let the filmmaker and photographer Fredrik Wenzel into her home, who draws a tender and close portrait of one of the great filmmakers of our time.

Swedish filmmaker Nina Hedenius records life as it silently but unstoppably passes by. She records the sounds and movements on a farm under the clear northern light.

A cinematic tribute to an area in the Swedish inland traditionally known as a mining district, but where shut-downs of mining and metallurgic industries since the post-war years has caused vast de-population. As with Hedenius other works Sång till Bergslagen is ultimately a film about the relationship between Man and Nature.

The film is based on a quote by the Danish poet Sören Kierkegaard - "Get married and you regret it. Don't get married, you'll regret it too. Marry or not marry, you will regret both?" Two people are in a crisis in their relationship and meet again in their rented summer cottage.
