Language and Ugly Things
Språk och fula saker
Actor Mikael Rahm lives in Oviken in northern Sweden in a home filled with kitschy items. He has a collection of characters within him that keep bubbling up to the surface. They all speak an extinct language, Jamska. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with a severe form of cancer. Parts of his tongue had to be removed, depriving him of an important tool of his trade. He has had to work hard to learn to talk again so he can tell his stories.
