First day of school
I wanted to become an author when I grew up


1999
Reading


When my teacher asked who wanted to be the storyteller in our school play, I raised my hand without thinking twice.

When I got home, realising what I had done, I immediately regretted. I remembered I absolutely hated talking in front of people... and despite my dreams of becoming an author my reading and writing was terrible!

My parents also taught me to finish what I had started. So they helped me line up all my toys on my bed like they were my audience. I practiced until I had memorised the whole play.

On the day of the play I held my papers pretending to read everything, even though I knew the whole play by heart.

How my Mom found me after the performance of my lifetime, while the other kids where eating cake.

Playing



I could entertain myself for hours playing with my toys and create all these characters. My imagination was too wild for me to ever get bored being by myself.

Perspective
Street smart sister
Skulkeboller

I never ditched school. Something my older sister Ane didn’t exactly support. After a lot of convincing, I agreed to ditch one day with her—on one condition: that she promised to help me with my homework! To that, she replied, "Let's make skoleboller (school buns). It’s basically the same as being in school!"
Then she packed all the skoleboller in her school backpack, and we rolled down to Hvalstrand, where we soaked up some vitamin D and I learned a few life lessons they don’t teach you in school.

Drawing the line





The film depicts challenges in relationships; rejection, recognition, establishing trust as well as the need for connection vs adventure seeking and open-mindedness. It also shows how dramatic change can lead to a return to a starting point that is valued in new dimensions.
