Blood Calls You
During a stay in Havanna Linda Thorgren meets what she then believes to be the love of her life. Some months later they get married and he moves back to Stockholm with her.
Things don't turn out the way Linda thought they would. When their daughter is born, matters are brought to a head and their existence collapses, overshadowed by her husband's control obsession. Abuse, violated restraining orders and a deportation order follows.
Linda Thorgren returns to Cuba to persuade the Cuban state to accept the Swedish deportation order and let her ex-husband re-enter the country. This is the first of many journeys to come.
The film brings us to Costa Rica, Södermalm-Stockholm, New York, The Canary Islands and back to Havanna in the sixties. Linda Thorgren meets her mother and sister both of whom share her experiences of abuse.
She talks to her father, her stepfather, her ex-husband's former wife and she goes to see her one and only best friend Yurika. Through these meetings Linda Thorgren tries to understand how things became the way they are and set herself and her daughter free.
