Swedish Teens Unleashed (Besværlig begjær)

In the flora of Nordic short film, the Swedish short films with youth themes stand out as a distinct vein of golden glow.

One of the great strengths is credibility, it reeks of living people, heartfelt anxiety and hormones at play. Usual ingredients are youth confronting partying, alcohol, sexuality and love, the need for affiliation and the need for individual control over body and emotions.

It's about being young today, and taking contemporary adolescent life seriously. This program contains four different stories centered around young people growing up, stories that have obvious qualities that will appeal to all ages.
