The Girl (Flickan) Trailer (2010)

Foreign trailer for The Girl, which screened at 2009 Vancouver International Film Festival.

Not quite 10, the eponymous heroine (Blanca Engström) is a solemn, ginger-haired, freckle-faced waif who is never called by name. Told by her parents that she’s “too little” to accompany them on their trip to Africa, she finds a way to get rid of her feckless aunt and care for herself. A loner and a dreamer, the girl observes far more than she understands. She’s most at ease with neighborhood outcast Ola (Vidar Fors), and confides her secrets as they explore the forest and hayloft.
