Lida background

Lida

A visually stunning film portrays an elderly Swedish woman living in Ukraine, blending fragmented time periods and locations into a dreamlike narrative that breaks free from traditional storytelling.

LIDA is a modern, poetic cinematic experience that blends time and places to create a narrative painting about a family's love, told through memories. The film is an impressionistic, dreamy piece about beautiful characters who have lived through war, their lives irreversibly affected by it. The story revolves around Lida, an octogenarian Swedish woman living in Ukraine, who is the last speaker of the Old-Swedish language in a former Swedish settlement. The film explores the cycle of time and the disappearance of a unique community.
