It is, of course, extremely sad, and Gothenburg will feel very empty without Martina, Alandh tells GP.

Martina Schaub was born with Down syndrome in 1968 and became a famous face through Tom Alandh's films, which depicted her and her mother's struggle for her daughter to live a normal life.

I used to tell her that I probably learned more from Martina than she did from me. Among other things, that it is important to have patience and to fight, that perfection is rarely good, and that a good life can look like almost anything, the documentary filmmaker tells GP.

Martina Schaub was 57.
