Originally produced as a motion picture in 2009.
Blanca Engström.
In the summer of 1981, a 9-year-old girl is left behind in her aunt's care while the rest of her family goes to Africa as aid workers. The aunt is soon courted by a man and leaves the girl with the promise to return in a few days. The abandoned girl keeps this a secret from everyone and uses her freedom to discover the world around her as the summer passes by. With sharpening senses she gradually discovers the often absurd and careless world of adults.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Amazing submitted by irenzero on June 18, 2011, 10:11pm Coming of age story in the vein of My Life as a Dog. The central performance by Blanca Engström is out of this world, just the look in her eyes and that unreadable face are magnetic and keep the view focused on her.
