I Am Dina

This is my Story

A haunting 19th-century character study of a traumatized girl grappling with guilt, death, and the tension between self-destruction and vitality.

In Northern Norway during the 1860s, a little girl named Dina accidentally causes her mother's death. Overcome with grief, her father refuses to raise her, leaving her in the care of the household servants. Dina grows up wild and unmanageable, with her only friend being the stable boy, Tomas. She summons her mother's ghost and develops a strange fascination with death as well as a passion for living.
