The story of two brothers, one rich and one poor living next to each other , struggling along with their families and daily lives in the south parts of Stockholm in the 1930's.
Acting
Deutgen and Grünberger's brotherly tension feels lived-in, not performed.
Production
1930s Södermalm recreated with documentary-level detail.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Södermalm was Stockholm's working-class district until gentrification flipped it; this captures the neighborhood's soul before IKEA-fication.
Director Göran Gentele was primarily an opera director — his only film, made shortly before his assassination in 1972.
