A woman gets a phone call. Her mother is dying. Reluctantly she takes the travel to see the mother and visits the apartment there she once grew up. It was a childhood of alcohol and violence and humiliation.
There are hang-ups from childhood which follow some of us. Even if we've left the environment, it's still inside us and sometimes a person has to die, for us to get rid of that. This is what Svinalängorna is about.
Good acting by the Rapace couple and sensitive directing by Pernilla August. In the end, there's catharsis in a very intense scene. The price is payed. You can have your past inside you as something that built you, but it's not part of you anymore.
