Love & Will

In the small community of Åmotfors in Värmland, Olof lives a quiet life as a beekeeper after losing his partner many years ago. All that remains is his teenage daughter Lise, who increasingly seeks to escape the confines of home. Olof struggles to reach her, and grief has long lain buried in silence—until he suddenly falls ill and is forced to confront all that has remained unspoken. With great sensitivity, Marcus Carlsson portrays the different stages of life and reminds us how the fragility between people can hold both pain and light.

A film about a group of people and their complicated relationships to one another. Vera is trying to figure out how to relate to her son's irresponsible father, while her sister is about to release a book about their shared childhood. Not far from Vera, a professional clown is hesitantly trying to get on with his life and form a new relationship, but his ex is refusing to let go of him. In close shots, full of emotions, the characters expose the best as well as the worst in them, and the film provides no simple answers to its questions.

Mariken Halle first asked around her neighborhood if she might make a school film about one of her neighbors. When that didn’t work, she and her small film crew began addressing people on the streets of Göteborg. How would they imagine a movie that they would want to star in?

They try getting into their “life role” – and she begins to direct them....

Tobias who works as a bouncer. One night he accidentally shoves a drunken guest. He is sentenced to be shoved in return, but he is not told when it is supposed to happen. It is about the feeling of living with uncertainty. How tormenting it can be to go around waiting for something you know is going to happen to you. But you don't know when or how. Through its Kafkaesque story, we want to pose serious questions while simultaneously making you laugh.Our aim is to make films that strike a chord in people with their subtle humor as they waver between the real and the surreal.
