Synopsis:

In real-life, controversial Swedish artist Anna Odell wasn't invited to her class reunion, but made a film about what could have happened if she had gone there and confronted her bullies. Later she shows the film to her former classmates, and documents their reactions. The first half of The Reunion is her fictionalised account of what their reunion could have been - the second half is a recreation of the interviews and confrontations with her former classmates.

Swedish artist Anna Odell invites us to a grim class reunion with a twist. What happens when old hierarchies and truths are questioned from an unexpected voice? This film investigates how far, too far reality is. It traverses the border between fiction and reality with Odell playing the main character, using her own identity and life story to go into unspoken and invisible hierarchical structure. By processing the story in multiple layers, the complexity of power and exclusion is revealed and the dynamics of the group is exposed.

A film between fiction and reality, highlighting questions about group dynamics and established hierarchies. A group of people meet for their high school reunion 20 years later. One of them talks about her being bullied and outcast and soon the former classmates fall back to the roles they used to have back in school. But this is just half of the film.
