In partnership with the University of Rochester Department of Psychiatry, and Department of Humanities and Bioethics. the Reel Minds Film Festival is an annual series of films, performances, and discussions addressing the social stigma of mental illness and behavioral disorders. The festival concludes on the 25th with the US premiere of Daughters.

Plot Synopsis

 Sofia, Hedvig and Maja grew up with grief. They were only 8, 10 and 16 years old when their mother took her own life. Today, they are young adults. They have moved on with their lives, but all have struggled in their own ways to cope with their loss. 

Now, as they step into adult life, all three feel the need to make sense of their experiences and talk more openly about their mother’s death. In Daughters, we meet the sisters as children and today, as they reflect on what it is like to come of age in the aftermath of trauma.
