GINA (Working Title)
Synopsis
Nine-year-old Gina wants nothing more than a real family, but her mother Gitte struggles with the day-to-day life as a single parent of 3 children - and a fourth is on its way. Too often Gitte seeks refuge in excessive parties where she can dance and forget about her failings as a mother. With alcohol as her constant companion, she risks losing the one thing that is keeping her alive: her children. But Gina doesn't give up and fights for what has been in disarray for generations: family stability, a climb out of the spiral of poverty, neglect, lovelessness and lack of education. A female three-generation family portrait from the perspective of a nine-year-old girl who doesn't accept that her fate is predetermined and only depends on where you are born into.
