Description

Dottern bakom järnridan / Tüdruk raudse eesriide tagant / The Daughter behind the Iron Curtain 

Swedish documentary by two brothers who tell the story of how their then 14-year-old Estonian mother emigrated from Tallinn to Sweden in 1958 from behind the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union. It is also a story about the volatility of fate in a dangerous and uncertain world divided into East and West - recurring today as Europe is once again shaken by a brutal war of aggression.

Rootsi dokumentaalfilm kahelt vennalt, kes räägivad, kuidas nende siis 14-aastane ema 1958. aastal Nõukogude Liidu raudse eesriide tagant Tallinnast Rootsi jõudis.  See on ka lugu saatuse muutlikkusest ohtlikus ja ebakindlas maailmas, mis jaguneb idaks ning lääneks – teema, mis on jälle aktuaalne ajal, kui Euroopat raputab taas jõhker agressioonisõda.

In Swedish with English subtitles, 85 min (2022)

Directors: Erik Forslund & Nicholas Parts
