Around the theme of "home", the
director gathered all the little characters in the film together.
This is a small town full of joy and laughter
. The people in the town gather like relatives.
They send teams on weekends and play parent-child games.
Until Goran and Sven, a pair of gay couples settle in,
they look like they are. A visitor broke the tranquility of this small town.
All the people were surprised at this loving gay couple,
but they didn't know that Goran and Sven's biggest wish
was to adopt a one-and-a-half-year-old baby and
live a life of three boys in one house.
Things backfired.
When the carelessness of the adoption agency brought Patrik, a 15-year-old rebellious kid, to stand in front of them.
Their peaceful life began to produce subtle chemical reactions.
They
quarreled, reconciled, got angry, ran away from home, had an affair, like all ordinary lovers get along . The
three were under the same roof, but they didn't look pleasing to each other.
When all the contradictions finally broke out in an instant,
this "home" that was on the verge of breaking was finally crumbling.
The 15-year-old Patrik lost his parents since he was a child, and his
premature independent life made him appear as a "social scum".
He fights, fights, commits murder with a knife, cynicism...
In Sven's eyes, he is a representative of a young society, ignorant and full of lies.
Therefore, he couldn't bear Goran's repeated surrender and maintenance to Patrik, and
finally left Goran.
From the beginning to the end of the movie, there is a touch of sadness. The
blue sky, the neat town, and the honest people. The
director uses a still film technique to portray this small town like a paradise.
On the surface, this is a peaceful town,
but once they are disintegrated into a unit represented by "home",
in fact, every household and every person has secrets that are unknown.
It’s just that we don’t know that
as long as there is love, we can be tolerant;
as long as there is love, we can go home.
The last scene of the film...
On the endless grass,
Goran, Sven and Patrik are wearing the same sweatshirts,
jogging in the morning under the blue sky,
and Patrik’s favorite puppy, looking
at the camera. He kept screaming "barking" there...
