Am I Comforting You Now?
by Ann-Sofie Bárány
Director Suzanne Osten
What do grownups do when the kids are playing grownup games?
What do children do when the grownups behave like children?
What do we do with our longing that cannot be fulfilled?
Unga Klara explores our capacity to survive, and poses a challenging question: do we need contact with other humans?
