Jenny - A Story on Lydmor - English subtitles

Jenny Rossander—better known as Lydmor—is on a mission. Whether it will lead her to redemption or new worries, she herself does not know. But it must be carried out. With music and words as her weapons, she demands to take ownership of her own narrative and confront the ghosts of the past. The mission takes Jenny from Norway to Vietnam and results in two deeply personal works, the album ‘Nimue’ and her debut novel.

The film is directed by Sebastian Cordes – Jenny’s boyfriend – and it is precisely this intimate gaze that characterizes the portrait. Over five years, we follow the creation of the works and, together with Jenny, oscillate back and forth between music studios, the couple’s home, and packed venues, between self-confidence and doubt, between adrenaline rushes and sudden crises. At the same time, the film becomes a unique portrait of what happens when love, art, and ambition become inextricably intertwined, and when the camera does not merely observe but becomes part of the relationship.
