Maria BLOM 2014 Sweden Fiction color 97min Swedish DCP
Once upon a time there was Disa and Laban and their children. But now Disa's husband has found a new love, new clothes and a brand new future, while Disa is stuck in a life put on hold. But then, a smooth-talking father of seven from Grycksbo turns up at the library. An angry patient comes back to life at work. And a new martial art course comes to town. This time, Disa decides to brace up and make some changes about her life. Without a typical Hollywood happy ending, Disa's happiness is not from her new relationship, but instead, is from the opening of her mind.
