CGiii Comment

A banner is rolled out at a train station. "Respect our no" it says. Director Astrid Askberger looks at old slides with her parents and is struck by how strange and gravely serious the parents' political struggle seems today. And how little she herself does to improve the world.


En banderoll rullas ut på en tågstation. "Respektera vårt nej" står det på den. Regissören Astrid Askberger tittar på gamla diabilder med sina föräldrar och slås av hur främmande och gravallvarlig föräldrarnas politiska kamp verkar idag. Och hur lite hon själv gör för att förbättra världen.
