Now, I Also, Am Here

Synopsis

I see a woman say it’s fantastic when she lets go of control. 

 I see the sea, and the children on the rocks. 

 In the rabbit forest the wolf child howls, they run after her. 

 I see big rough hands in the soil.

The film has participated, for instance, in the Tromsø International Film Festival 2024.
