Synopsis:
In Northern Norway during the 1860s, a little girl named Dina
accidentally causes her mother's death. Overcome with grief,
her father refuses to raise her, leaving her in the care of
the household servants. Dina grows up wild and unmanageable,
with her only friend being the stable boy, Tomas. She summons
her mother's ghost and develops a strange fascination with
death as well as a passion for living. Family friend Jacob
encourages Dina's father to hire Lorch, a tutor who introduces
her to the cello. When Dina is old enough, she marries Jacob
and moves to Reinsnes, a port he runs with his mother, Karen,
and his stepsons Niels and Anders . Niels doesn't like Dina's
wild ways, or the fact that she has taken over accounting
duties at Reinsnes. Dina's eccentric tendencies become even
stronger, eventually leading Jacob into an accident of his own
and bringing Tomas back into her
life.

A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER |
In writing I am Dina I had the chance to work
with Ole directly in Norway (north of the country where they were
shooting) and there were a series of things that were very
inspiring. One of them was the fact that it was summer and the sun
never sets (as it's close to the North Pole) and the other one was
the movie itself. I found a lot of ideas in the movie being a period
piece (it takes place in the 19th Century) about a crazy Norwegian
cello player... and I wanted the music to reflect some of the folk
identity of the time and yet because of the state of mind of the
character, it had to be very original and that's why you find so
different elements throughout the music... I was very challenging
and definitely one of the most fun projects that I have done... it's
a pity it never showed here in the
USA. |
