Director Statement

When I was a kid I was placed in a state orphanage, even if I was not an orphan. The reason I understood year´s later. The Nordic countries have a long tradition of eugenics. The world’s first Racebiological Institute was founded in 1922 in Uppsala, Sweden. Over one hundred thousand Nordic women were sterilized between 1930-1975 to improve the genetic quality of the superior Nordic race. My parents were classified as Lapps and placed low in the official state race hierarchy.

Personally, I have been successful in forgetting those evil days. Before I meet Tasha at the Russian orphanage I had no nightmares. Tasha is not an orphan; still, she is living in an orphanage. The Russia Lapps are equally considered as the ”filth of the earth”. At the orphanage, Tasha is separated from her native Lapp culture. For every day there she is “cleansed” to become a better Russian. Still, Tasha is so much smarter than what I was. She does not openly confront the Rules. She is a very open and likable person. Tasha has even taught the Russian to see her background in brighter colors. For me, this is a miracle. As an underage inmate, she is totally powerless. Still, she manages to transform the life inside the walls. 

I have no intention to compare my orphanage with Tasha’s. I will instead focus on the love story, where Tasha’s two mothers are trying to do their ultimate best for the girl. Together the three women are fighting to overcome a hopeless situation, using humor, love, and passion as tools.
