Appeared at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival
Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize and a Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival, Jens Jonsson's gentle, dark and eccentric coming-of-age saga follows a baby-faced Swedish teen (Jerry Johansson) as he deals with a dysfunctional family and rumors about his paternity. Glacial detached humor - prompting a few critics to dub this "Sweden's NAPOLEON DYNAMITE" - and superb performances from Johansson and the supporting cast distinguish this sharp portrait of adolescent alienation, sibling rivalry and small-town life.
