BLIND SPOT tells the story of a mother who struggles to come to terms with her daughter’s mental illness, revealed to be far worse than she had realised.
I wrote the script when I experienced a culture of silence around the subject of mental illness among young people. Reading about several cases of very young suicidal cases in Norway, I experienced a lack of openness and discussion about mental disorders, both in home environments and in the public debate. I also discovered that the conducted conversations often were characterised by guilt and cause, rather than acceptance and openness.
