Daisy Diamond is a 2007 Danish film starring Noomi Rapace, directed by Simon Staho and co-written by him and Peter Asmussen [ar; arz; da; de; fo; it; sv].

Dark and tragic, the story revolves around 22 year old Anna, a girl from a wealthy family, who is also fiercely ambitious and dreams of one thing only: making it as an actress.

Though she struggles to give her daughter a good start in life, she ultimately fails to unite her dream of acting with a safe and loving environment for her child.

Torn between her duties as a mother, and her passion for acting and the need to earn money, Anna is driven to the limits of her patience - with tragic consequences: she drowns her baby in a bathtub.

Jonathan Holland of Variety said that "[t]he first five minutes of Daisy Diamond feature a smack injection and a rape, [after which], things only get bleaker".
