About My Fathers' Daughter
Elvira, a confident Sámi teenager, firmly believes that her lesbian single mother conceived her at a Danish fertility clinic. She often daydreams about her father, envisioning him as a charismatic movie star. However, her world is turned upside down when her real biological father unexpectedly steps into her life.
Directed by Egil Pedersen, My Fathers' Daughter leans on a strong ensemble — Sarah Olaussen Eira, Ingá Elisá Påve Idivuoma, Aslat Mahtte Gaup — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
