DEAR LINA is a poetic story about the life of Colombian, Lina Maria Rincon. Lina grew up in Medellin during the violent Escobar period. Driven by her passion for painting, she seeks to become an artist in USA. Lina's journey leads to meeting and marrying aspiring Norwegian filmmaker, Finn E. Bugge, who spent five years making this film about her.

The film embraces the subjective account of Lina, her childhood memories and longing for friends and family back home as she is constantly forced to deal with the bitter sweet reality of international life, moving between Colombia, USA and Norway.

Through its intimate and personal style, DEAR LINA ultimately reflects on themes of purpose, love and the meaning of home.
