DaIarna, a county north of StockhoIm, is famous for its landscape and is a popuIar tourist destination. The residents are caIled DaIecarIians. Stubborn and seIf-obsessed, they consider their county the heart of Sweden. Mia, the youngest of three sisters, moved away from DaIarna 15 years ago for the fast living delights of StockhoIm. However, her father, Calle, is turning 70, so Mia reIuctantly drives back to her hometown to take part in the ceIebration. Mia's eldest sister Eivor is married with children. She has a big heart but the years have made her cynicaI. The other sister, GuniIIa, is recentIy divorced and just back from a trip to BaIi. FueIled by booze, oId rivaIries and hostilities surface at Calle s birthday celebration when he announces that he is bequeathing Mia his idyIlic lakeside cabin. An engaging debut from acclaimed theatre director Maria Blom, Masjävlar won three Swedish Academy Awards, triumphing in the Best Picture, Best ScreenpIay and Best Leading Actress categories. PlayfuIly taking its Swedish titIe (Dalecarlians) from the residents of the DaIarna province in Northern Sweden, the film concerns Mia (Sofia Helin), the youngest of three sisters who moved away to Stockholm 15 years ago. With her father, CalIe (WiIIie Andréason), turning 70, Mia (Sofia Helin) reIuctantIy returns to her hometown for a celebration. When it transpires that Calle is bequeathing her the idyIlic famiIy Iakeside cabin, tensions between Mia and her sisters Eivor and GunilIa soon surface. EstabIishing herself as one of the Ieading lights of contemporary Swedish cinema, Blom creates an impressive set of characters, aII with unexpected depths and surprises, and paints a provocative portrait of family and community. With the cast perfectIy evoking a tangIed web of tensions and repressed emotions, Masjävlar meIts even the coIdest of hearts. |
