EditBritt-Marie var här (2019)

Da 63 årige Britt-Marie forlader sin mand efter 40 års ægteskab, bliver hun tvunget til at tage sit liv op til revision – gøre op med gamle vaner for at møde den nye verden. Britt-Marie havner helt tilfældigt i den lille flække Borg, hvor livet nærmest står stille for byens få indbyggere. Men – der er nogen, der på trods, drømmer stort i Borg og puster liv i Britt-Maries nyvundne tro på livet og fremtiden. Måske er det aldrig for sent at starte med at leve livet? Måske kan hun mod alle odds falde til og gøre en forskel? ”Britt-Marie var her” er en skøn perle om nye begyndelser af forfatteren bag succesromanen ”En mand der hedder Ove”. Svenske Tuva Novotny har instrueret, mens Pernilla August spiller Britt-Marie.

Based on the 2014 novel of the famous Swedish blogger and writer Fredrik Backman, “Britt-Marie Was Here” is about an ordinary 63-old year lady whose life changes for good. Usually, we all tend to agree with the social cliché that global life challenges happen only to young people. However, this is Britt-Marie who bravely leave the 40-year marriage with her husband Kent to pursue new life. Offended by being qualified as a nagging aunt, she takes up a great challenge - to coach the children’s soccer team in the small city of Borg. The film follows all the struggles and obstacle Britt-Marie has to overcome but also her ability to find warmth and love at unusually places.
