SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over two years, \u00c5sa Ekman accompanies the teenager Felicia who is growing up in difficult family circumstances. Her violent father no longer lives at home. The mother is a drug addict and incapable of looking after herself, let alone her two daughters. Felicia slides into the parental role and tries \u2013 seemingly unfazed by the problems \u2013 to keep the family together. But the burden is too much for her in the end: Her brave struggle for normality leaves its marks. She becomes alienated from her own body, thinks that she is ugly, too fat and has many psychological problems. When she has to testify against her father, she faces her biggest challenge yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY LIFE, MY LESSON is a raw but warm-hearted portrait of a young woman who grows away from herself. The director \u00c5sa Ekman accompanies her with a respectful distance and great tenderness. She does not question Felicia\u2019s self-perception, depicts the girl behind the raw shell, and shows the price of \u201cnormality\u201d in dysfunctional families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
