The Andersson Brothers

Sweden, Finland2024documentary84'Międzynarodowy konkurs dokumentalny (2024)

A renowned Swedish director, Roy Andersson, who made, among others, ‘You, the Living’, had three brothers. A daughter of one of them, standing behind the camera, in both an intimate and uncompromising way, x-rays the family story marked by addictions and conflicts. By shooting this film she would like to unite the relatives conflicted for many years, but she also points the camera at herself. She wants to discover to what extent our lives are determined by social background and life conditions, and whether the next generations have to copy the tragic patterns.
