When Maja was 16 years old, her mother, the filmmaker Anita Killi, was diagnosed with cancer. Nobody knew what the outcome would be. But the whole family felt that a reservoir of good memories could help to survive the difficult time. This touching animated documentary was made out of more than 2,000 pictures that Maja took within a period of two years. A film that shows clearly that it’s not the hair that matters, but the smile underneath.
