Jag är min egen Dolly Parton

Sweden, 2005. When music producer Gudrun puts together a tribute concert for her idol Dolly Parton, she engages the help of four singers. Over the following year, the five women get to know and cherish each other during a further series of tribute concerts. In I AM MY OWN DOLLY PARTON we meet headstrong Gudrun, who has left her family behind in Iceland to try and build up a new life in Sweden; Nina – already an internationally known star as the lead singer of the Cardigans – who feels completely drained after several years on the road; Lotta, the blond beauty with dreadlocks who dares to defy the expectations of others; Cecilia, whose career as a soul singer ended abruptly following a burnout; and last but not least, the solo singer Helena, who attempts to escape her low self-esteem by creating her own oases of beauty.
