But How Can I Cry when the Streets are Ablaze with Flowers

Norwegian title: Men hvordan skal jeg gråte når det blomstrer så voldsomt langs veiene?

Stina Vogt

The digital garden on the screen is luminous; improbable plants are crossbred. A daughter hits rock bottom after her mother’s death. She digs deep into the soil of her childhood garden. Her memory is leaky as a sieve. But How Can I Cry when the Streets are Ablaze with Flowers is a poetic tale of three generations of women living under the same roof, where the bonds are strong and childhood is free.
