EditNelly & Nadine (2022)

I gamle optagelser af overlevende fra Anden Verdenskrigs koncentrationslejre, der sejler ind på havnen i Malmø, stirrer en kvinde skælmsk ind i kameraet. Hvem er hun, hvad tænker hun på? Kvinden hed Nadine, og i Ravensbrück-lejren havde hun indledt et forhold til Nelly – en kvinde, hvis barnebarn Sylvie i dag forsøger at samle brikkerne i det puslespil, som hendes bedstemors liv var. På sin gård i Frankrig har Sylvie en kiste fuld af breve, billeder og Super-8-film, som hun har fået af Nelly. I 20 år har hun ikke turdet kigge i kisten. Da hun åbner den begynder omskrivningen af familiens historie og forvandler sig til en smuk kærlighedshistorie mellem to kultiverede kvinder, der fandt sammen mod alle odds. Indstillet som en af tre kandidater til Sveriges Oscar-bidrag.

In old footage of WWII survivors from the concentration camps, a woman stares scowling into the camera as her ship enters Malmö harbour. Who is she, and what is she thinking about? Her name was Nadine, and in the Ravensbrück camp she had begun a relationship with Nelly – a woman whose granddaughter Sylvie is today trying to piece together the puzzle that was her grandmother’s life. On her farm in France, Sylvie has a chest full of letters, photos and Super 8 films given to her by Nelly. For 20 years, she has not dared to look into it. When she opens it, the rewriting of the family history begins and turns into a beautiful love story between two cultured women who found each other – and stayed together – against all odds.
