In the film I Am Dina (2002), Benjamin is a young child (played by Oscar Frostad Udbye) and does not grow up on screen. He does not go to Leipzig or play the cello; it is his mother, Dina, who is a talented cellist. The film ends with Benjamin still as a boy, following a tumultuous series of events including a barn fire and a sailing accident. The narrative about Benjamin being sent away to study music describes the plot of Herbjørg Wassmo's sequel novel, Lykkens sønn (Son of Happiness), and even then, he is sent to Copenhagen (not Leipzig) and studies medicine, while Dina is the one who travels to Germany.
Dina's son, Benjamin, is sent away from Norway by Dina.
Dina arranges for him to go to Leipzig, Germany, to pursue his education in music. Benjamin has a profound talent for the cello, and Dina ensures he is removed from the chaotic and often violent environment of the family estate, Reinsnes, so he can lead his own life and fulfill his artistic potential.
This separation is Dina's final major act of maternal love and sacrifice, freeing him from the dark legacy that has plagued her own life.
The summary fails to note that Benjamin is a child actor (Oscar Frostad Udbye) in the film and never grows up on screen.
The summary attributes the main character's defining musical trait (cello playing) to her son.
