ME AND MY NOSE

– A film by Ziska Szemes

Year: 2009. Duration: 28 min.

 

Ziska is born and raised in Sweden. Never the less she is often asked where she comes froms since she does not look Swedish. In ME & MY NOSE Ziska is off on a journey to find out if she is Swedish, how to get a Swedish nose and what a Swedish nose really looks like.

 

She ends her journey in Copenhagen where she lives with her family. She has found that she will never become Swedish or Danish in a way where she will be one of ‘us Danes’ – or one of ‘us Swedes’. She needs to be Swedish and Danish in her own way.

 

ME & MY NOSE is a film about identity. As audience we join her on her journey when she takes off to find her identity. We are with her, experiencing her confusion about what she is – Swedish, Danish, Parsee, immigrant. The theme is up to date and hits the Zeitgeist – not only in the Nordic countries, but in the Western world as a whole. ME & MY NOSE is a documentary added elements of animation and special effects. The film contributes to the debate on integration and national values, taking place in Danish and Swedish society.
