How can you talk about the Holocaust with your children? A mother is clearly affected by her trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau and talks with her three children about it. What questions does it awaken in them? The frankness of the children’s thoughts about war and oppression are hard to deflect.

A tender portrayal of four stubborn brothers becomes a touching contemporary Swedish family chronicle about dreams, class, heritage, and the difficulty of connection. The Andersson brothers grew up in a working-class home in Gothenburg. Roy became an internationally acclaimed filmmaker while Ronny ended up as a homeless man. Kjell became a documentary filmmaker, and Leif lives as a disability pensioner.
