Plot summary

In Northern Sweden, a small community built around a mine. From the winter cold to summer greenery, some teenagers, about to take the leap in the adultage, fight with themselves and the world around them, learning to live, love and dream – while the city also is in a time of change, forced to move due to the explosions mining the ground.

Classification Allowed from age 11
Notes DCP.
Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av oroväckande och tung stämning med uppslitande gräl, en pappa som ger sin son en örfil, en ung man som får blodigt skärsår i handen, män som håller fast en man och är hotfulla, ett skjutet djur som blöder och en förtvivlad pojke som är vilse i skogen vilket bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 11 år.
