Country:

Run Time:
87 minutes
Haunted by the traumatic memories of her childhood, Veera escapes into the world of live action role-playing, or LARPing. At organized LARPing events, participants play fictional characters and immerse themselves into alternative worlds, such as Harry Potter Wizarding Schools and futuristic battle scenes with aliens and spacecrafts. When she’s LARPing, Veera becomes her alter-ego “V,” a persona she often feels more comfortable as. V is talkative, friendly, well-liked, and always happy…characteristics Veera is absent of in real life. When she’s at home as Veera, she spends most of her time caring for her mentally disabled brother, who often finds himself under the influence of their abusive and alcoholic father. Beautifully insightful, THE MAGIC LIFE OF V follows Veera (and V) as she works through the wounds of her past, gradually bringing her two personas closer to being one in the same. (In English with Finnish subtitles) —G.S.
