Miras: Turkish 2021

Depicts the background of a family portrait and tells a factual story of trauma. This is the story of intimacy and the wounds inflicted by relatives, ties and breaking ties, the story of the theater critic Bergljot's struggle to survive despite his family, to claim his life. A cold and dark story hides behind the smiles in the portrait, but like all hidden things, it eventually comes to light. This novel, which made a huge splash in Norway, is a bestseller and much discussed, begins with the death of the father and goes to the root of the wound. One cannot choose one's family, but one can choose to tell their story.
