About This Movie

Född i en likkista is a fascinating dive into the life of Sonja Malmberg, an undertaker from Sweden. The film drifts through her 60 years of service in a rather poetic manner, shaped heavily by her own written words. There's a raw intimacy here, as the documentary captures both her reflections and the stark realities of death. Staffan Win's approach feels unhurried, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of her experiences and the profound themes of mortality and legacy. The atmosphere is contemplative, almost meditative at times, and really gets you pondering life’s impermanence. It's not flashy, but it resonates deeply, making you appreciate the nuance in the everyday lives of those who deal with the end of life.
