New Nordic Cinema

See Swedish director Fanny Ovesen’s vibrant coming-of-age drama, Live a Little!

Best friends Laura and Alex set off on a summer Interrail adventure across Europe. After a night of partying in Warsaw, Laura wakes up naked in a stranger’s bed—and with no memory of what happened.
As the two young Swedes couchsurf their way across Prague, Berlin, and Paris, fragments of that night return and Laura’s doubts mount, pushing her to confront her own limits in a quest for truth and self-discovery.

Fanny Ovesen’s crackling coming-of-age debut relies on patient, attentive observation by letting emotional truth surface in small gestures. At the center of Live a Little is an intimate portrayal of female friendship, and Embla Ingelman-Sundberg’s breakout performance as Laura makes her a talent to watch.
