A tender portrayal of four brothers who have drifted apart. One is the world-famous filmmaker Roy Andersson and another the director’s own father. What has caused this fracture? Can their relationship be patched up again? THE ANDERSSON BROTHERS is a family story about art, class and a legacy that stretches back over several generations.
A tender portrayal of four stubborn brothers becomes a touching contemporary Swedish family chronicle about dreams, class, heritage, and how difficult it can be to connect with each other. Sibling relationships are the longest-lasting in life but often not the most cherished. 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. Johanna Bernhardson makes her feature film debut with a story about how life can turn out so differently despite seemingly similar circumstances. Through the portrayal of her father Leif and her uncles - with alcohol as a common thread - she also tells a tale of inheritance that stretches generations backward (and forward) in time. At the same time, she tries to get the brothers to stop sulking and reunite - before it\'s too late.
