FILM: Witch

A Writer and Witch, confronts divorce, schizophrenia, reinvention, and menopause in Witch, exploring magic and mental health

Writer and self-proclaimed Witch, Andrea Hejlskov, made headlines when she took her family and left society to live off-grid in the Swedish woods.

Ten years later, she returns to the city.
Divorced, suffering from a writer’s block, and with her children having grown up, Andrea struggles to piece together her new existence. A process that is clouded by a sudden return of her Schizophrenia, that makes it difficult for her to distinguish between magical omens and pure symptoms.

Witch spans over a 10 year period of protagonist Andrea Hejlskov’s life, including never before published footage from her life and time in the Swedish wilderness. It is a film about magic, nature, mental health, creation and all the pieces that constitute a modern human being.
