Sinopsis(1)
Adaptación de la autobiografía de la escritora Janet Frame. Nacida en una familia pobre y muy numerosa, desde muy pequeña se sintió diferente a los demás niños. Aunque estudió para maestra, fue considerada una persona anormal y, por tanto, fue encerrada en una institución para enfermos mentales durante ocho años. Alcanzó el éxito cuando empezó a escribir libros. (Surf Films)

A beautiful and elegant film. The story is divided into three parts, the second of which, set mostly in a mental hospital, is truly gripping. I have some reservations with they other parts, they are tedious. The whole film could easily fit into two hours without the story suffering.

Let's be honest and point out that modern New Zealand literature is not a very prominent topic in the Czech Republic. Janet Frame's books have not yet been translated, but that makes it all the more enjoyable to listen to her film biography. Jane Campion's finesse and refined taste take us through three chapters of her life, which has everything - anchoring in her family, growing up, the many missteps of the 20th century in a nutshell, and above it all, her faith in people. I'm very glad I wandered into the Kiwi Film Fest.
