Sara Parkman’s music resonates across generational, national, and religious borders. It is music that unites. Nevertheless, the feeling of loneliness is painfully present in Gustav Ågerstrand’s subtle and intimate portrait of one of Sweden’s greatest musicians.

Violinist, singer, and composer Sara Parkman has revolutionized Swedish folk music with her elevated, powerful, and maximalist approach to music. She is a third-generation preacher’s child who, through music, preaches about solidarity, love, and the courage to change. In Som vi har älskat we meet the person behind Sara Parkman’s strong stage persona. A young woman trying to be a creative force when the world is ablaze. Or when the inner self is burning. Despite great success and impeccable performances, the feeling of being wrong inside persists.

The screening on March 10 is followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Gustav Ågerstrand.
