Filter

Agnes, 42, runs the lifestyle blog Vardagar vid kusten and paints a picture of calm, polished everyday life for her 95,000 followers. But behind the images are cracks: her marriage to Henrik is strained, and after an affair during a trip to France, Agnes no longer knows how to move forward.

She flees to her mother Eva's house - convinced it will be empty during the holidays - but is surprised when Eva appears and looks as though she has been through an accident. Both mother and daughter carry secrets, carefully hidden from each other and from the world. In their meeting, reality begins to break through the many layers of filters, pretences and self-deceptions that have built up over the years.

Filter is a dramedy about loneliness in our narcissistic age, about how digital lives can create distance rather than closeness, and about relationships that require more than perfect images to survive. The play is written by Emma Broström and directed by Anna Novovic, recently known for "När strippklubben kom till byn" and "Jag som var så rolig att dricka vin med".
