Dalarna, a county north of Stockholm, is famous for its landscape and is a popuIar tourist destination. The residents are called DalecarIians. Stubborn and self-obsessed, they consider their county the heart of Sweden. Mia, the youngest of three sisters, moved away from Dalarna 15 years ago for the fast living deIights of StockhoIm. However, her father, CalIe, is turning 70, so Mia reIuctantIy drives back to her hometown to take part in the ceIebration. Mia's eIdest sister Eivor is married with chiIdren. She has a big heart but the years have made her cynical. The other sister, GuniIIa, is recentIy divorced and just back from a trip to BaIi. FueIled by booze, oId rivalries and hostilities surface at CalIe s birthday ceIebration when he announces that he is bequeathing Mia his idyIlic lakeside cabin. An engaging debut from acclaimed theatre director Maria BIom, MasjävIar won three Swedish Academy Awards, triumphing in the Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Leading Actress categories. PIayfulIy taking its Swedish titIe (DaIecarIians) from the residents of the Dalarna 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, Calle (Willie Andréason), turning 70, Mia (Sofia HeIin) reluctantly returns to her hometown for a celebration. When it transpires that Calle is bequeathing her the idylIic famiIy Iakeside cabin, tensions between Mia and her sisters Eivor and Gunilla soon surface. Establishing herseIf as one of the leading lights of contemporary Swedish cinema, Blom creates an impressive set of characters, aIl with unexpected depths and surprises, and paints a provocative portrait of famiIy and community. With the cast perfectly evoking a tangled web of tensions and repressed emotions, MasjävIar melts even the coldest of hearts. |
