Synopsis by Bhob Stewart
This short (54 minutes) Swedish documentary uses interviews, photos, and archival footage to look at the lives of five older lesbians, ages 60 to 75, from Sweden and Northern Europe, including bisexual Boel, with a full family life; religious Kerstin, a well-respected priest; and Austrian-born Frieda and German-born Ellen, who both arrived in Sweden as the Nazis rose in power. Shown at the 1997 Seattle Film Festival.
