Plot summary

"Everyone loves Lena Nyman, but she can barely look at herself in the mirror. When she died, she left 17 bags full of diaries. A unique and unexposed private archive with tremendous explosive power, revealing a huge talent that was progressively suffocated by striving to meet the body ideal, bad relationships and substance abuse. A life story with a strong connection and relevance to young women today." (the production company's synopsis)
