She has been called the world's oldest blogger. This film is about a very energetic 103-year old, Dagny Carlsson.
She is one of the most significant artists of our time - and perhaps also one of the most active. Marie-Louise Ekman has been active in painting since the late 1960s. She has worked with film and stage design, has been director of the Royal Dramatic Theatre and rector of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Anneli Kustfält has followed the artist closely for two years, as she returns to the studio and life as a freelance artist after her years at the Royal Dramatic Theatre. The documentary is a deep dive into an artistry characterized by courage, independence and a reluctance to please. But also a journey back to Marie-Louise's upbringing, the alcoholic father and the anxious mother.
