Upstanding Daughter (Rekorderlig Dotter)


How much is beauty worth for Joëlle in Beirut? How does Diane in Glasgow transform into a man? And what makes grandmother Inga a woman? These are some of the questions leading to a journey from Sweden to Lebanon and the United Kingdom - and back again.


Filmmaker Kristina talks to three different women, but also sets out on a personal journey, asking herself questions. When do you stop being a child? How do you become a girl? What is femininity?
