Together (2000 film)

Together Swedish Tillsammans is a 2000 comedydrama film. It is Swedish director Lukas Moodyssons second full length film. Set in a Stockholm commune called Tillsammans Swedish for Together in 1975, it is a satirical view of socialist values and a bittersweet comedy.

Selfdeclared lesbian Anna lives in the commune with her exhusband Lasse and their son Tet named after the Tet offensive, who befriends Stefan. The two play games such as torture the Pinochet victim where, in the spirit of equality, they take turns at being Augusto Pinochet. Eva meanwhile befriends a lonely boy across the street his family appears conventional on the surface but proves to be even more dysfunctional than the commune of which they so openly disapprove. The children are portrayed as sidelined by everyone in the film, from the new school where they are bullied to the parents who, while genuinely loving, are too busy experimenting with their own freedom to show it.Elisabeths husband Rolf makes a concerted effort to clean up his act, although not before getting drunk and arrested, leaving his children stranded on a roadside after a disastrous meal in a Chinese restaurant. Further relationship problems are found with Klas, who is desperately in love with Lasse, and between Gran and his selfish and immature girlfriend, who wants the benefits of an open relationship but not the responsibilities. ........
