Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Treating history as a fabric woven from personal stories, Torill Kove follows a thread of family history, embroidering it with playful twists along the way. In My Grandmother Ironed the King’s Shirts, she imaginatively renders her grandmother’s life and work in Oslo, especially during World War II.
