I Am Yours



Iram Haq : 2013
Jeg er din

Mina is a young, single mother living in Oslo with her six-year-old son Felix. She is a Norwegian Pakistani with a troublesome relationship with her family. She wants to be an actress but blows every audition. She seems uninterested in, and incapable of pursuing, any other career. She is looking for love and has several relationships with different men, however none of the relationships bear any hope of lasting very long. A chance meeting with Jesper, a Swedish filmmaker, opens up new possibilities and they fall head over heels in love. Mina takes Felix to Sweden to live with Jesper, but looming over everything is the one constant in Mina's life: her mother's disapproval. Norwegian actor, filmmaker and singer Iram Haq's feature debut is a striking portrait of familial relationships and of a woman who tries to live life on her own terms. Her film had its international premiere in the Discovery section at Toronto International Film Festival 2013.
