Kicki (Pernilla August) has, after several years abroad, returned to Sweden. Her 17-year-old son - Viktor (Ludwig Palmell) has been brought up by his grandmother and has a very distant relationship to his mother. In an effort to get reacquainted Kicki invites her son to join her on vacation inTaiwan. But her hidden agenda is thatTaipei is also the home of the Taiwanese businessman (Eric Tsang) with whom she has been conducting an Internet romance.
Special mention award atPusan 14th International Film Festival, October 2009"A perfect example of how “big” a “small” can be. The director's talent shines and portrays multi-national issues, social problems, domestic conflict, friendship and other intricate dilemmas within simple drama. The script, acting and directing are all well composed."
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Prize atMannheim-Heidelberg, November 2009"The Rainer-Werner-Fassbinder Prize goes toMISS KICKI by Håkon Liu from Sweden, as it shows us in an exemplary manner, how an actress shapes a film. In ever surprising ways it shows us that cinema does not need many words to express the unsaid and inexpressible in human relationships."
Winner of Telia Film Award atStockholm International Film Festival, November 2009"With a subtle, yet precise emotional and visual language, this movie takes us on an inner and outer journey, describing one of the most complex relationships of all - that between a mother and a son. The Telia Film Award goes toMiss Kicki by Håkon Liu"
