Storyline:
Gustav and Oskar are twins. Oskar has Achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism. Both have blue eyes and blonde hair. They approach life in different ways. The director, Axel Danielson, have filmed Oskar and Gustav over a ten year period – from nine to nineteen – as they grow up together in an old farmhouse in the country-side, in the very South of Sweden. In 53 scenes in chronological order we follow the brothers through their journey of childhood, adolescence and struggle for identity.
User review:
Or rather two childhoods. Because we get to know the twins Gustav and Oskar from the fact that they are only nine years to the rounding of the teens, a couple of plants that actually remind me of my own.
Because when we were little, me and my three brothers, we also grew up in the countryside. We had hens and other animals, played in the woods and fought hard together to counter the sadness and frustration of environmental exclusion. And just like Gustav and Oskar, we never really found our places in society when urban environments and everything that it implies were introduced, parenting and societal hand-in-hand with deviant interests, including the testing of drugs and role-playing. But just as for Gustav and Oskar, we were embraced by the adult and went on, it's something I suppose these two boys did – because nothing else is mentioned.
