Why tonight?

  • One season, and then it ends — a story with a last episode, not a habit.
  • In Swedish — subtitles on.

The story

Through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, we witness the delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl family, a sprawling bourgeois clan in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Sweden.
