Synopsis:

In Hata Göteborg! (Hating Göteborg!, 2007), 19 year-old Johan spends the Helsingborg dog days playing soccer and getting into brawls alongside his scrappy pals. Somehow, though, this summer is different. The group implodes as Johan discovers - via an enlightened cousin from Göteborg - a masculinity apart from the macho slugfests. Robert Lillhonga's sensitive drama is in many ways precisely what Swedish genre cinema needs: stories particular to the provinces and to contemporary life. Hata Göteborg! always maintains a harder edge and commitment to independent cinema. Lillhonga's work is the rougher cousin of the Swedish Oscar contribution Farväl Falkenberg (Falkenberg Farewell, 2006); the former Helsingborg drama revolves around hooligan macho culture and its aesthetic is correspondingly rough. Jesper Ganslandt's hippie drama - also a rejection of Göteborg - is a love letter to a gentler form of masculinity that nevertheless bears a dark postscript.

The gloomy, hate-filled lives of a group of teenage guys in the south of Sweden suddenly turn around when one of the guys' hippie-like cousin shows up.
