Her impressions:

“When I was five, Mom usually bought cassettes with old American movies. Even now I remember a monophonic male translation, which all of them had. And then one day she brought me a cassette about a family in the suburbs. I don’t remember the name of the movie, but the image of a cornfield with a maze remained with me forever. Since that time this image has become for me an integral part of American culture. I am very thankful to UMN Crookston that they gave me the opportunity to be the character of that movie film fifteen years later. It was one of the best days I’ve had as a student here. Especially I liked the part, when we got lost in a long maze.”
