Wonderful and Loved by All (Underbar och älskad av alla, 2010) Director: Hannes Holm Presentation: There's no such thing as a good lie. Even a harmless "white lie" can take on a life of its own, spiralling out of control and causing unpredictable consequences. In Wonderful and Loved by All we see how far a lie can travel, and the lengths that people will go to in search of their deepest desires. This comedic drama follows the adventures of a mischievous girl named Bella through a mad-cap, two hour long romp of endless entertainment.Bella is a single woman who, even in her late 30s, dreams of becoming a famous actress. She's so eager to become a star that, when she finally gets an audition interview, she decides to tell a little white lie about her acting credentials. The surprised director believes her little fib, and fast-tracks her into the final try outs for a role that she's far from qualified to play. It seems like a dream come true, until reality comes back to bite her. Rehearsals become tougher and tougher, pushing Bella to her limits with the need for intensive acting, long hours, and even acrobatics! The lie is beginning to crumble around her, and to further complicate things, Bella soon finds herself embroiled in a steamy love affair with the actor set to play the handsome "Casanova.". Synopsis: Bella (Martina Haag) is a self-proclaimed actress with a big head but a rather small list of achievements. She is pushing forty, constantly broke and has very little else to show for herself. To put an end to her bad luck, she decides to take a few „creative liberties" with her CV, pretending she has developed acrobat skills. As luck would have it, the legendary Ingmar Bergman is looking for an actress with just those skills to perform dangerous acrobatics for his new play. Bella gets the role of her life, but her small lies will lead to big consequences. |
