Mor gifter sig

Swedish drama series based on Moa Martinson's novel of the same name. When Mia is seven years old, she and her mother move in with a man her mother marries. It is a dream come true, as her mother Hedvig has been supporting herself and her daughter alone as a factory worker in the city, living with relatives. Now they can move from the cramped city to the countryside, to "the house with the white porch," but not everything is idyllic. The marriage is complicated; Mia and Hedvig are very close, but it is not easy for them with everything they have to adapt to in their new life.

Directed by —, Mor gifter sig leans on a strong ensemble — Gurie Nordwall, Nina Ullerstam, Aino Taube — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
