The Butterfly effect
A car crashes for an inexplicable reason with a train. Eleven people die. What led to the accident? Is there something like an exact starting moment? Who, more than the driver, could be blamed?
Bodil is 55 years old when she falls ill with an incurable disease. At that moment she decides to leave her husband, after a long and demanding marriage. She begins to prepare to be no longer there. The thought of death does not scare her but she needs to understand why her life became what it is. Why has she so often done what was expected of her instead of doing what she actually wants?
Bodil decides to try to approach her high-performance daughter Viktoria, who was deeply affected by growing up with a dominant father and an mother who just did what she was told. But before she can tell about her illness, Viktoria breaks contact.
Vad handlar Fjärilseffekten om enligt Karin?
Fjärilseffekten handlar om att våra gärningar verkar långt utanför våra egna liv. Om den fria viljans kamp mot barndomens kraft, och om vår ovilja att försonas med tillvarons villkor. Att vi alla en gång måste ta farväl av livets angelägenheter.
