This film is about Kiruna, the first girl born there. The city’s founder Hjalmar Lundbohm named her Kiruna and decided that the first girl of every generation in that family should bear that name. Kiruna’s life fell short, dying at 26 from cancer, only a week after her godfather Hjalmar Lundbohm. The film follows Kiruna’s granddaughter Britt-Inger Kiruna who tells this story and has Kiruna’s grave restored, while reflecting on the role that Kiruna Church, built between 1909 and 1912, has played for Kiruna as a city.
