Trine on Fire(2025)

It was eleven years ago when Trine, then 34-year-old, set fire to her house, an act that would land her in long-term psychiatric confinement. Despite countless suicide attempts, and without having fully quelled her (self-)destructive impulses, this woman now appears resolved to make an extremely ambitious fresh start: to portray her inner world in theatrical form. As she prepares the project with the help of filmmaker Alexander Lind, he is shooting what one might call the epitome of a meta-documentary. At the periphery of this recording, and in the front row opposite the theater stage, Trine's parents are waiting, with whom she yearns to reconcile.
