Sara Parkman has revolutionised Swedish folk music with her unique expression and style. After her breakthrough album Vesper takes Europe by storm, Sara is propelled into the public eye. But her love for her art is tinged by a sense of loneliness too.
In How We Have Loved, we journey to Sara’s childhood home in the north of Sweden and into the creative process with her co-creator and best friend, Hampus Norén. A new album begins to take shape, centred around a subject Sara has long avoided – love.
Gustav Ågerstrand is a director and cinematographer. Gustav has directed films such as Tjuvgods, Inuti ett träd, the documentary series Det goda landet, which was nominated for Kristallen (Sweden’s national television award) for best documentary in 2018, and the documentary Live Till I Die.
