173K0

A "literary masterpiece" that swept across Northern Europe, recording the final moments of the film master. The perfect combination of novel and memoir, the daughter of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann tells the story behind the "Magic Lamp". A perfect combination of Philip Roth's "Legacy" and Patti Smith's "Just Kids", adding warmth and purity. This is a multi-layered memoir and a novel about a father, a mother and a child. "Go and see, remember, and understand." Based on the six recordings left by her daughter at the last moments of her father's life, she was able to talk about her parents from the perspective of a calmer bystander. Putting aside the fame they carry and their famous love, "Hustle" embodies a different kind of heaviness and tenderness, documenting a child who desperately wants to grow up and her parents who would rather live like a child all the time. Revolving around different times and memories, it tells about forgiveness, words, memories, and mourning, as well as a daughter's eternal love for her parents.
