Hebriana

(1990)

In Hebriana (1990), a family reunites at their summerhouse in the archipelago for a midsummer weekend in the eighties. The gathering brings forth memories of their deceased father, particularly for Britt-Marie who now goes by Hebriana after being released from a mental hospital. As the family comes together to celebrate midsummer, tensions rise and long-buried secrets begin to surface.

The film explores themes of family dynamics, grief, and mental health as the characters navigate their complicated relationships and past traumas. With a mix of nostalgia for simpler times and emotional complexity, Hebriana delves into the intricacies of familial bonds and the impact of loss on individual identities.

As the weekend progresses, the family must confront their past and come to terms with the changes that have taken place since their father's passing. Hebriana is a poignant and thought-provoking look at the ties that bind us together and the struggles we face in moving forward.
