The Bell JarGirl, Interrupted

When a gifted painter seeks help for a breakdown, her voluntary admission becomes a struggle for freedom as the institution begins to treat her intelligence, anger and resistance as symptoms of insanity.

Amalie is a psychological period drama adapted from the novels of Norwegian feminist writer Amalie Skram. It follows a fiercely gifted painter who enters a sanatorium of her own free will, only to find the walls closing in as her mind, her art and her very self are pathologised.

What begins as a search for rest becomes a fight for autonomy — a story about who gets to define madness, and what happens when a woman refuses to be cured into silence.
