What do you do when it feels impossible to live the life that is expected of you? What do you do when you long for something that you can hardly name?

Based on the paintings, letters and diaries of the Swedish artist Berta Hansson (1910–1994), The Bird Within Me is an exquisitely told story of family and obligation and following your dreams, which will appeal to all ages.
