Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with emotional weight, this one's for you. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 53 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In a Swedish industrial community people are forced into unemployment to turn a iron-works company's negative profitability trend. Martin Holmbäck arrives from Stockholm to effect the layoffs.
