Finished film: May, 2024

ABOUT THE FILM
An animated documentary short film based on interviews. By Malin Erixon. Length: 14.5 min.
 
Ex-wives, offspring, mother-in-laws, step children and other loosely related people and close ones. Norms, jealousy, frustration and love…
 
I invited a number of individuals to tell their story – the big and the small – about the group they call FAMILY.
 
The stories we hear are the authentic sounds from the actual interviews. Real stories told by real people.
