    • Trivia
      In 1993 she had finished the manuscript for her book "Bare skyer beveger stjernene" about a family who looses their son to cancer. Tragically in 1995 Torun Lian herself lost her only son, Mathias, in a car accident. A year later she started planning the filming of her own book, eventually making her directorial debut with the film "Bare skyer beveger stjernene" (1998) and ending up winning the Ingmar Bergman Award in Sweden (the first Norwegian to do so).
