Åsa brought me material that had come incredibly close to the subjects. At the same time it was shot with respect - it didn't invade the situations, or provoke to get reactions from the people in front of the camera. The presence of the camera is hardly noticeable. I couldn't put the credibility to question, because I felt it was absolute. The result was a bare and very strong documentation it's hard to put up the usual emotional defenses to. At times it's been quite emotional in the editing room - even if it sometimes were only me present. Our ambition was to stay true to the qualities of the footage in selecting and distilling the raw material in editing. Our main character is an introvert girl in psychological crisis. It can be hard to represent this in a way that the viewer will understand and relate to. I think seemingly quiet situations documented in the film hold a kind of raw intensity. We've tried to unveil and make this visible rather than to use explanations, constructed drama and effects.
