Amina's Letters
Jacob Bitsch : 2016
Aminas breve
When 21-year-old Janus is released from a secure psychiatric hospital, he has only one thing in mind – to find a girl named Amina. She means everything to him and her letters gave Janus faith and consolation while in hospital, but they suddenly stopped coming. Janus fears that Amina has come to grief and embarks on an investigation that leads him through the city's shadowy streets to find her. His journey takes him into a paranoid and violent world, where anyone who knows her seems to have something to hide. He becomes increasingly convinced that Amina is living in a violent marriage, from which he must save her. He becomes so obsessed by the notion of Amina's tragic fate, that only when it is too late does he realise that the person who needs saving is himself. Jacob Bitsch's second feature is based on Jonas T Bengtsson's award-winning debut novel.
