Brenda Brave

Brenda Brave (original title: Kajsa Kavat) is a 1989 Swedish film directed by Daniel Bergman and based on the 1950 novel Brenda Brave Helps Grandmother by Astrid Lindgren.

At the evening, Brenda's grandmother tells a story of an angel, carrying two candles and a book.

As a Christmas present, Brenda receives the doll she had admired in the shop window.

[1] Anna Zamolska from KinderundJugendmedien.de believes that the film looks like a beautiful picture book made from Ilon Wikland-illustrations and old photographs.

Thus, the film is made with only a few cuts and takes time for ordinary, everyday operations.

There is also a small scene with the then adult Pippi Longstocking actress Inger Nilsson in the film.
