Karin Boye

Karin Boye (1900-1941) is one of Sweden's most beloved poets and writers. She constantly finds new readers and gives hearts comfort and strength. But who was she? Like no one else, she described the unhappy heart in love and she dared to live and long and break norms. One April evening, she went out into nature alone with sleeping pills, never to return. A film about Boye's life, works and times, from the debut until the all-too-early end, in the middle of a burning world war.
