The bitter force of fate tears into the harmonious life of a family of four in the form of a serious
car crash. The mother and youngest son do not survive the crash. Only the father Lasse and
his oldest son Jonas remain. Nine months later the two
of them set out to spend their summer
holidays on the Swedish archipelago. Tough times follow, as Lasse struggles with depression
and Jonas increasingly isolates himself. Supported by a troupe of extraordinary actors and
exquisite picture composition that skillfully incorporates the summer landscapes of Sweden
into the action, director Johan Brisinger has
created a complex, emotional piece on the power
of mourning and overcoming of the same.
