Lesbian coming to terms in the far north: For 30-year-old Odile, life is a little more complicated than for her friends. At least, she has rap music to express herself.
How do Scandinavians do it? If they make thrillers, they are almost always a bit darker and better than ours. When it comes to young people, they are so authentic that it almost hurts at times. "I am Earth" falls into the latter category as the story of Odile (series creator Amy Black Ndiaye), who has just turned 30 and whose life is a little different from that of her friends. Not only because she finds fulfillment in, of all things, rap music and the studio of her buddy Stian, but also because her father finally wants to see her at the side of the right man. Odile's problem: she's a lesbian and coming out to him is long overdue. Luckily, rap as a form of expression also goes where it hurts and becomes personal. Thus, "I Am Earth" becomes a rap musical that is worlds away from the youth culture efforts of local producers.
