Film screening: 'Morten'

Morten does not find his place at school. Bullying and peer pressure make him ask, more and more painfully, where he belongs and who he really is. When two girls enter his life, street artist Miia and the mysterious bog girl Emilie, he finds himself between two worlds: everyday reality and the mystical, city and bog, first feelings and painful choices.

Warm and understanding, the film combines a tender picture of young inner lives with social sensitivity and a mystical dimension: a gripping story about finding yourself, the pain of being unseen, friendship and the courage to stay yourself.
