Hedvig Broch

Hedvig Broch was a Norwegian artist who pursued her passion for painting later in life after years of adhering to societal expectations. At the age of 50, she returned to her artistic roots, creating a poignant portrait inspired by Kramskoy's famous work. Her life story and artistic journey became intertwined with themes of loss and memory, as her own struggles and eventual suicide resonated with the characters in Joachim Trier's films.
