What are the consequences of a young person to be famous at an early age, being a public person? “Født til Filmen” is about the Danish actress Stine Bierlich’s (1967 – 2007) life and career. Through interviews with herself, with her family – Ann Bierlich (mother), Asger Leth (brother), Jørgen Leth (stepfather), friends and people from the film industry it tells us about Stine’s life from being a child actress to becoming a celebrated young star of the 80’s. The film is a comment on today’s worshipping of stars, and how fame has almost become a drug in itself. It’s as if here’s every answer to any doubt. But as Stine’s story shows, reality can actually be the opposite.
