Synopsis: In Charlotte Blom´s humorous yet bitter-sweet short film, Dear Lisa, we start out with the speeches Lisa have received through life, from her father’s confirmation speech to her friend’s birthday speech, her husband’s words for her on their wedding day, and during her funeral. The last speech, however, is given by Lisa, when she films herself while addressing her daughter in connection with her future confirmation. When the daughter, seven years later, is watching her mother’s speech on video, past and present meet.
Inhalt: In Charlotte Bloms lustigen und bittersüßen Kurzfilm „Dear Lisa“ werden wir Zeugen der Reden, die Lisa zu Ehren gehalten wurden, von der Konfirmations-Rede ihres Vaters über die Rede einer Freundin an ihrem Geburtsag bis zu den Worten ihres Ehemannes auf ihrer Hochzeit und bei ihrer Beerdigung. Die letzte Rede stammt allerdings von Lisa selbst, als sie sich filmt und zum Anlass der baldigen Konfirmation an ihrer Tochter wendet. Als diese sieben Jahre später die Rede ihrer Mutter auf Video sieht, treffen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart aufeinander.

Producer / Produktion: Hilde Berg, Bent Rognlien
Cast / Darsteller: Mona Andersson, Maria Galkina Henriksen, Gøran Østerbøl, Helene Holm Glad

Synopsis: Ella is a burlesque drama about old, boozed-up Ella, 73, who refuses to take a bath. Ella’s hobby is to drive her home helpers crazy. Neither the municipality nor the home helpers know the real reason Ella won’t take a bath, or that Ella generally does not want to do anything at all that others do. Ella has tucked away the reason in the darkest recesses of her mind, and each time the thoughts emerge she drowns them in alcohol. For no one knows, there is no one who really knows Ella, and Ella does not know anyone. The film is based on an incident that took place during the German retreat from Finnmark, Northern Norway in 1945.
Inhalt: Ella ist ein Drama um die stets betrunkene Ella, 73, die sich weigert, ein Bad zu nehmen. Ellas Privatvergnügen ist es, ihre Altenpfleger in den Wahnsinn zu treiben. Weder die Gemeinde noch ihre Pfleger kennen den wahren Grund, warum sie sich weigert zu baden, oder weshalb sie partout nichts machen will, das andere machen. Ella hat die Gründe tief in sich hineingegraben, und jedes Mal, wenn sie wieder an die Oberfläche kommen, versenkt sie sie im Alkohol. Niemand weiss, wie es in Ella aussieht und deshalb kennt keiner Ella und Ella kennt keinen.
