Ida against her fears: Norwegian series addresses murderous dilemmata

Berlin, Deutschland - On July 11th, the highly expected Norwegian dramedy series Ida saved the world in Germany, which deals with current social issues. The main character Ida, embodied by Elli Müller Osborne, moves to Oslo for her psychology studies. But the new life not only brings new things, but also fears. Ida suffers from anxiety disorders and paranoia, which increases when she meets Axel (Arthur Hakalahti), which she considers to be a potential gunner. Identification with him is an inner conflict because she has to decide between the desire to help him and the understandable fear of him. RadioBielefeld reports that the series by Rikke Gregersen was staged and praised for its exciting examination of responsibility and ethical dilemmata.

The social context in which the series plays is not so far from reality. A worrying phenomenon are the so -called "incels" - involuntarily celibate men who have already tended to violent deeds in the past. These movements are increasingly gaining media attention, and the series addresses their dangerous ideologies. An amocation in Toronto 2018, in which ten people were killed, is exemplary for the topic. [Television-serien.de] (https://www.sehseserien.de/news/ida-rettet-die-welt-norwegischer-Dramedy-Eachtteiler-Feier-Deutschland Premiere) emphasizes that Ida's examination of Axel's internet activities has a strong influence on her psyche and presents you with the challenge of deciding between responsibility towards others and your own self-protection. This critical topic suggests thinking about mental health and the associated stigmatization.

In today's world, the representation of mental illnesses in the media is particularly crucial. The WHO warns that false representations and stereotypes via mentally ill can lead to further stigmatization. For example, media reporting, as it is also discussed in Ida, the world can have a decisive influence on how the public perceives mental health. Who explains that a correct and sensitive reporting can not only support understanding of mental illnesses. A sensitive handling of such topics helps to reduce prejudices and enable those affected to find help.

This discussion is urgent in society. The public is informed by films, series and other media content, but this process is complex and requires constant discussion. The challenge lies in finding the right sound in order to transport both the severity of the topics and the need for support.
