Beloved, questioned and never out of the spotlight. Now director My Sandström turns Carola Häggkvist’s life and career into a documentary. She is an icon. A phenomenon. She is… Carola!
Built on unique access and previously unseen material, CAROLA! looks past the megastar to find the person. Here is the artist audiences have loved for four decades — the performer who fascinated Ingmar Bergman so deeply that he watched her wedding on repeat. And here is the woman who has been steered by others since the age of 16, and who at 60 has taken control of her own life. She is Carola, and she never stops fascinating.
“Carola is the freest person I have ever met. I hope her unique story will inspire others the way she has inspired me,” says My Sandström.
