'Invisible Elina') is a 2002 film directed by Klaus Härö and based on a novel by Kerstin Johansson i Backe.
[1] In the 1950s, nine-year-old Elina lives with her younger siblings and her mother in the Torne Valley in the north of Sweden, near the Finnish border.
Elina finds consolation in wandering out on the dangerous marshlands to have imaginary conversations with her dead father.
However, since she missed so much schooling as a result, she has been put in a new class with a different teacher, the strict Tora Holm.
Although nobody is willing to take her side, little Elina proves far stronger than teacher Tora Holm reckoned.
