ELINA: AS IF I WASN’T THERE (2002) Showtimes: 5:15pm to 6:55 pm and 8:00 pm to 9:40 pm In rural northern Sweden of the early 1950’s, little Elina goes to school again after recovering from tuberculosis, the same illness that has killed her father a few years earlier. Elina’s family belongs to a Finnish-speaking minority frowned upon by a staunch schoolmistress who starts hounding Elina for speaking Finnish in class and questioning her authority. Elina’s mother, sister and a liberal young male teacher all try to mediate the ensuing battle of wills between Elina and Miss Holm. Finland’s Oscar® submission from 2002 is a beautifully photographed story about love, justice and integrity. Rated: Unrated / Running Time: 77 Minutes | |
