Filmed in Chile over the course of a year, this film follows two young women. They both have the same name and both struggle to get a decent life and a sweetheart they can count on. The dream is simple but hard to fulfill: To have a roof over one’s head and a floor under one’s feet. To have a husband who’s clean and a door that can be locked at night. This is the story of Solange. A mother of two children, who earns her living on the tips she gets for guarding parked cars in the downtown streets of Santiago. She’s 22 years old, cheeky and intense. And it is the story of Solange. A beautiful young girl who lives with her family in the hills that surround Valparaiso. There’s a thin line between solid desire and all the things that threathen the heart: Solange on love.

TRAILER
Tine Katinka Jensen
Tine passed away in 2015 after battling cancer for many years. She was core to the establishment of Bullitt Film and she directed two films with us: ”Solange on Love” that won Best Danish Documentary at CPH:DOX in 2008, and “Wild Girls” in 2013 that shed light on marginalized teenage girls and instigated a much needed debate in Denmark on the subject.
Tine graduated from the Danish Film School in 2005 with the prominent portrait film “Angie”. Alongside her work with creative documentary, she made television series especially for a young audience. During her first period of illness she directed “Tine´s Film” in collaboration with her husband Poul Berg. During her many years with severe illness she became a treasured speaker at conferences about quality of life. You can see her moving and powerful films here on the site. We miss her very much.
