In the film by director Wiktor Ericsson, the acclaimed stage actress portrays a Polish woman who travels to Sweden with her family to earn money from strawberry picking and discovers a world of stereotypes and prejudice.

Kijowska told Polish Radio that winning the award was “one of the biggest surprises in my life”.

Her on-screen husband, played by Przemysław Sadowski, was also nominated for a Guldbagge.

Sweden’s leading film awards have been presented since 1964. (vb/pk)
