Maria Bäck : 2020
Psykos i Stockholm
A surreal, stylistically on point, and deeply moving film about a girl seeking life as a teen, but who has to grow up very fast. Twenty years ago Maria Bäck went on vacation to Stockholm with her mother. It ended with her mother having a mental breakdown and the 14-year-old Maria wandering around in the capital city alone. With the help of actors, she has now processed the experience in this feature film. Through off-colour blonde jokes, poetic doubles, and a street choir singing bob hund songs, the director creates a powerful and engaging film about human yearning and the diffuse borders of existence. Maria Bäck's feature debut premiered in the Nordic Competition section at Göteborg Film Festival 2020.
