Härö strør ikke om sig med unødig tidskolorit eller påtaget 50'er-stemning. Han holder sig til historien om pigen, der siger fra, selvom hun kan undgå en masse ballade ved at indordne sig.

What is Elina: As If I Wasn't There about? Toggle content

In rural Sweden in the early 1950s, nine-year-old Elina returns to school after recovering from tuberculosis, only to find herself at odds with her strict teacher, Miss Holm. Elina's family belongs to a Finnish-speaking minority that Miss Holm looks down upon, and she insists that Elina speak perfect Swedish. Elina finds comfort in imaginary conversations with her dead father on the dangerous marshlands. As the battle of wills between Elina and Miss Holm intensifies, Elina's family and a liberal young teacher try to mediate the conflict. But Elina refuses to back down, standing up for justice and her own identity. Will Elina's courage be enough to overcome the obstacles in her path?
