Iris

2011 | 85 min | K-7 | drama, family

The year is 1890. Iris is eight years old and lives with her visual artist mother Ester in Stockholm. Iris’s father is dead. Iris has been waiting for a long time to be able to go to Paris with her mother, to the opening of this exhibition, but to her disappointment, she has to stay home. And when the babysitting plans don’t work out as expected, let’s rush Iris to Åland, a place Iris doesn’t know anything about, but where she finds out her roots and where she grows up to be a child she’s never had.

Iris, who has lived as an only child in the Stockholm milieu and has been in contact with artists’ circles, thus ends up in the Grand Duchy of Finland’s archipelago, where life is poor and uncomplicated. The clash of cultures is great and for the first time in her life, Iris has to create relationships with other children. Iris struggles to find her place in this new environment.
