At times, you rebel against your family's vocation, deciding to become a baker in a clan of actors or an actor in a family of dentists. Occasionally, having no better idea for yourself, you step into your parents' shoes, inherit the family business, or climb the career ladder competing against your family members. Blood is thicker than water, you know it. And very rarely it gives you great opportunities to grow and cultivate your talent. It gives you strength, being set up against tough competition impersonated by your siblings from a young age. If prepares you for a lifestyle. What sacrifices do you have to make to succeed, why not everybody is bound to be the top of the top, why family's support is crucial and why failure can be a heartbreaking journey of lost dreams? One story of success, based on a real family: Fighting with My Family. Enjoy.
As a girl, you play various games: in your imagination, you can be a captain of a ship, a writer, a soldier, a TV presenter or a cook. And then, as a woman, you are limited to social status: single, married, in a relationship, divorced, or widowed and wonder what could possibly have gone wrong.
What is the purpose of a woman on this planet? Why is she educated, cherished, and brought up to face the obstacles of the world? For many years, her only life dream and ability to survive was to get married as soon (and rich) as possible. But for generations of women, she was supposed to succeed and fall in love, passionately and romantically. Maybe that's why we were all enchanted by Little Women. Jo, Amy, Meg, and Beth March were always somewhere at the back of the minds of girls choosing their careers or making life decisions. They represented independence, friendship, sisterhood, dreams, and coming of age, they portrayed life seemingly distant from us, but so universal, everybody could relate. Little girls watching the 1994 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel can now, as grown women, admire another movie about four girls making their way in the world, where money count more than dreams, society deprives of values, and very few privileges allow women to live on their own terms. Surely girls being born today will need another reminder that there once were sisters with very similar dilemmas.
Imagine a distant Swedish village, which in full light celebrates one of the most famous Scandinavian traditions. Imagine white robes, friendly people, the beauty and cleanliness of the Swedish north. Picture life without technology, immune to the threats of the contemporary world, unspoiled by the sins of the modern lifestyle. To this ad a group of fascinated youths who have their own issues to figure out and need a journey to forget and distance themselves from the world. What can possibly go wrong? Nothing like this so far, Midsommar.
Schools for girls seem to follow a very similar pattern. Institutions are run by women who have long forgotten that they were girls themselves. There are inspiring and friendly teachers and teachers who want to follow the rules of conduct. Girls want to have fun, dream about a great love story, are passionate about poetry and music. In this environment of innocence and beauty, some unexplained higher power has it easy to stretch its greedy arms and play. It makes people disappear and causes mass loss of consciousness. Two different epochs, two mysterious events and unexplained forces. Unsuspecting students are thrown into the consequences of loss, death, and grief. What a difference it makes to be a student back in the beginning of the twentieth century and now. Can you find a reasonable explanation for all things beyond the reason? Picnic at Hanging Rock/The Falling.
What a tragical thing is to be married without love. Just look at the rates of divorce. A nice house, financial security, the father for your children or the right guy accepted by your family and friends won't guarantee passion, love, and happiness. If you're kept in a cage, you will try to flee at all cost, not paying attention to people's opinion and reputation. Love can turn into hate and even the most polite and well brought up girl can turn into a monster able to do everything for the sake of her happiness. A story about a woman. Lady Macbeth.
