In her upcoming third feature “Brace Your Heart,” Amanda Kernell follows a survivor, not a victim. 

“We’re all different, and some people who experience really difficult things can’t recover. But there are others who survive and find there’s light on the other side,” she told Variety. 

Kernell, known for “Sámi Blood” and “Charter,” is also behind the script.
